Single Conveyor System |
This low cost conveyor features a dc motor driven system with vertical gauging unit,
inductive and optical proximity detectors.
The unit is fully self-contained comprising
a power supply, interface unit and a range of sensors and solenoid actuators.
The conveyor system carries out a simple parts selection process.
The first selection
is made on the basis of component height, tolerances can be set on the gauging unit
allowing rejection of under and oversized components.
Rejected components are ejected
from the conveyor using a solenoid operated actuator. Correctly sized components are
sorted into plastic or steel.
This detection process being carried out by a combination
of optical and inductive detectors.
