Pneumatic 2-way distribution see-saw
2-way distribution see-saw as stand-alone devices is used especially where containers must be filled on alternate sides. This can be necessary for buffering needs or, for example, for the filling of boxes for storage to allow the pieces to cool better.
Advantages:
- Stable, height-adjustable base
- Easy-to-use MTF counter controller for control of the see-saw and feed peripherals (use with counter impulse or change containers after a preset time)
- See-saw drive also possible electrically
- Dimensions, design and materials depending on the task
2-Way Distribution Systems
Pneumatic see-sawing, reversible conveyor belts or two-way switches can be used both for quality assurance and for automation goals. QA points can, for example, be installed directly in the output shaft of an injection moulding machine to sort sprues or reject pieces. By contrast, two-way distribution switches serve for alternate-sided filling of two containers and thus present – often in combination with a counter control – a buffer solution. The design with regard to material, dimensions, controller configuration, bases or machine connections always depends on the specific task at hand.
