In the CNC production facility of an automobile manufacturer, turned parts are automatically ejected from the lathe after machining. The next work step requires intermediate buffering, during which the parts are to drip dry as much as possible.
Simple and Efficient Buffering and Separating
Rotary tables are ideal for maintaining continuous material flows. If workpieces need to be buffered, stored, staggered or separated between work steps, they can be stored on the table’s circular surface. The parts can then be discharged as needed and fed back into the process.
Rotary tables consist of a round and driven table top made of MDF, HPL or combinations with stainless steel or felt. All types have either right or left rotation. The base frame is built from Series 40 profiles as standard and equipped with height-adjustable levelling feet. Cover panels made from sheet metal or polycarbonate can be easily attached.
When designing guides such as intake guides and diverters, the weight and shape of the product being conveyed plays a major role. Round products, such as brake discs, ball bearings, cans or bottles, are the most suitable for this type of storage. mk therefore custom-designs the guide plates according to the customer’s specific requirements. With extensive experience in interlinking and conveying applications, mk can draw on a wealth of previously implemented solutions. For example, we can implement adjustable diverter plates that are integrated into the control system.

A pharmaceuticals manufacturer is searching for a conveyor system for very small and delicate glass ampules, which have to be gently, securely and stably transported from various filling plants for labelling.
In the cosmetics industry, glass pots need to be transferred automatically to a filling station. On delivery, the pots are unpacked manually and placed on the feeding system. To avoid the workers having to continuously place individual pots on the feeding system, the pots are loaded in batches,…
