The company is growing at a frantic pace and as a result we have received a number of challenges for technology that requires design and testing from scratch before it reaches the customer.

This time, a single conveyor system has been created with the following logic:

  • Wood packages are lifted onto the conveyor from the rear end.
  • The wooden packages are moved one by one to the front end of the conveyor, where they are lifted up by pneumatic cylinders for buffering. 
  • The conveyor has a stack straightening function (with cross-arms) and encooder motors, which allow multiple packages to be stored along the conveyor (the machine knows the location of each package) and thus empty arms can be immediately loaded with a new package.
  • In addition, there is a parallel packing function.
  • Conveyor width manually adjustable (reels+locks)

The whole system operates in fully automatic mode and manual mode is available if required.

Techniques used:

  • Engine power 2 x 2.2 kw. 
  • Output torque from the reducer 940 Nm. 
  • Lifting capacity of arms with pneumatic cylinders 1 tonne (at 6 bar pressure) 
  • Travelling chain speed at 50 Hz 19.82 m/min (chain speed controlled by frequency converter).
