Pneumatic stainless steel pipe switch
With enclosed belts (e.g. in clean room applications), pipe systems op switches are often installed for transition into following processes. Likewise, these systems are useful when, for example, pieces must be carried over a great height difference to an output site. In the design as two-way pipe switches, the unit can be used in compination with a counter controller for exact piece-count filling of containers.
Advantages:
- Pipe systems from different materials (usually stainless steel)
- Pneumatic or electrical switches
- Pipe bends for flexible pipe guides
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.
