Movex 553 FLEXTOP - Static Rotation - Complete dimensioning solution

Static Rotation - Complete dimensioning solution
ENGINEERING MANUAL 24
Below sketch of the typical schemes can be done with
the 553 FlexTop belt.
For a movement completely under control, the static
rotation is the best way to rotate a product. Obviously,
this is also the slower solution, because the goods
needs to arrive in the middle of the disc, stop, turn
and start again.
Complete dimensioning solution
Below the main functional scheme for a typical application of goods rotation.
Shown formulas help calculating main information to create a complete unit.
In black are indicated required input, in red are indicated output that can be calculated with the following formulas:
• FlexTop belt width (bigger than goods width, multiple of 3” standard measure):
• Rotating Plate diameter:
• Goods pitch (if not provided as input, at least long as D
t
):
• Goods speed (if not provided as input, can be calculated from capacity):
• FlexTop belt speed (considering all spheres running on a flat plate):
• Useful time (net available time for rotation):
• Rotating Plate speed:
• Infeed length (optional):
• Outfeed length (optional):
• Total conveyor length:
