Elevated Part Transfer Conveyor Systems

Part Relay Station uses an elevator to lower parts. This system was designed to lower parts from a robot with a limited vertical stroke. The parts were tall and delicate. Dropping them would cause damage, and moving them down an incline would cause them to tip over.

Tall, narrow parts had to be taken from a robot, lowered and then moved through a 90° turn to a secondary operation—without falling over. Because space was limited, an elevator was used to lower the parts. The parts are placed on the elevator, conveyor platform and then lowered. When the platform reaches the bottom, the conveyor platform activates and moves the parts to a 90° flat top, chain belt conveyor that moves the parts through the turn.

Mechanical Lift Table

This easy-to-adjust, versatile belt conveyor application runs as a box fill at lower position, and then is raised to run as an indexing operator feeding conveyor. This particular lift raises from 24" to 40".

Robotic automation system cools parts and fills them into boxes.

• Empty boxes are loaded onto bottom level indexing conveyor
• Parts are placed by a robot onto the top conveyor, where they are cooled in a chilled air tunnel
• The cooled parts are fed into containers waiting in the Weigh-scale fill position on the lower level
• When the preset weight is reached, a sweep arm moves the filled container onto the gravity roller storage conveyor

This Part Elevator application has precise box positioning options, a weigh scale with sweep arm and indexing rails.
