Interlink Systems for Food Production
Problem definition
Food production application requires automated interlinking of multiple production steps and circulation of pallets. Multiple pallets with relatively high loads need to be transported. The conveyor systems need to be able to buffer the pallets. Pass-through clearances need to be kept free in certain locations. Defined capacities and throughput times need to be maintained. They conveyor technology also needs to ensure high process reliability, even in three-shift operation. The installation’s control system needs to be compatible with the given interfaces and transfer points. Spatial constraints need to be taken into account.
mk Solution
Complete interlinking of multiple production steps with the Versamove plus workpiece carrier circulation system. Reversing ZRF-P 2010 timing belt conveyors as transfer and buffer lines for total loads of up to 150 kg. Lift-and-rotate stations and lift-and-transfer units for achieving different track layouts and adapting to spatial constraints. Lifts for lifting and lowering the pallets. Conveyor frame and support frame from the mk profile system. Steel frame for buffering lines. Complete control system for the installation including integration of interfaces and transfer points.
