Workpiece pallets get a sense of dynamism

摘要

A manufacturer of white goods in Germany is reaping the benefits of MK Profile Systems' accumulating pallet recirculation system. The SPU 2040 accumulating pallet recirculation system enables dynamic feeding, buffering, positioning and separating of workpiece pallets (WT). In this application the SPU provided the solution for transporting the housing of dishwashers. When linking multiple cycle or changeover times, the SPU 2040 allows a countercyclical operation with automatic recirculation of the workpiece. A flat top chain carries the workpieces on the WT to the assembly plant. After removal of the workpieces the empty pallets are carried over the return roller and then conveyed back on the underside of the conveyor.
