Special features

• Very high conveying speeds
• Changeover of variants at the push of a button (“software chicanes”)
• Simple adaptation to changed component geometries or additional component variants at a later date using vision technology
• Very quiet (< 68 dB)
• Low energy consumption (< 800VA)
• Component-friendly sorting process without mechanical baffles
• Empty centrifuge function thanks to movable aluminium base plate
• Maintenance-friendly system
• 2 independent centrifuges on a frame with parallel-running NAK conveyor belts
• Control cabinets integrated in the table frame
• Beckhoff PC for autonomous operation of the centrifugals (operation, visualisation of camera images, interface to a higher-level controller, remote maintenance mode)

Description
Parts are conveyed and sorted in a centrifugal conveyor system. The components are checked for their position in the centrifuge outlet area using the installed vision technology. Incorrectly positioned components are returned to the centrifuge, while the correctly positioned components are transported onwards on the conveyor belt towards the assembly system.

There is also a second vision camera at the end of each conveyor belt section to carry out a 100% check.

Each centrifugal conveyor system has a refilling device (vibrating hopper with a filling volume of 5 litres). A filling level sensor (ultrasonic sensor) is used to automatically refill the centrifuges if necessary.

The sliding base plate allows improved accessibility to the machine (on the customer side). This simplifies maintenance work.

The signal light visualises operating messages and the touch panel supports the user in operating the centrifuge (green=operation / yellow=fill level > refill / red=malfunction / blue=maintenance).
