5 Application information
The machine layout drawing gives application information for the machine.
5.1 Layout options
The machine can be set up in different configurations to work with the layout of the infeed
and outfeed conveyors.
This infeed and outfeed conveyor layout determines:
• The transport method for infeed and outfeed. Refer to section 5.4.3.
• The fenced area. Refer to section 5.3.
This chapter gives an overview of most possibilities and the required points of attention.
5.2 Infeed and outfeed
This chapter gives a short description of some options.
5.2.1 Gravity conveyors
When making use of the gravity conveyor as infeed, an end stop must be used for the
product.
The inclination must be adjustable in order to be able to adjust the transport speed and the
transport time.
Make sure that the product carriers cannot touch anything during pickup and placement,
as well as while they make their circular movement in the machine. A minimum distance of
5 mm is required between the moving and fixed parts. See the layout drawing for the pitch
and the position of the fingers.
The drawings below give a few examples. Mirrored versions are possible as well.
