Zero pressure accumulation basket buffer - intelligent buffer system with roller conveyor

TEGEL-TECHNIK has realised a zero-pressure accumulation, mobile buffer system with a motorised roller conveyor for a customer in the stamping technology sector. The system enables continuous filling of stainless steel baskets with punched parts - without interrupting production and with intelligent container logic.

The system consists of individually driven conveyor sections, is mobile and can be flexibly connected to existing automatic punching machines.

This solution is used wherever components or punched parts need to be automatically conveyed into baskets or containers and buffered. The conveyor connection to an automatic punching press ensures uninterrupted production - thanks to automatic container changes and precisely controlled timing.

The use of conveyor technology with motorised rollers prevents the baskets from accumulating, thereby avoiding mechanical stress and unnecessary wear.

Roller conveyor with motorised rollers, hardware and software consisting of circuit diagram creation, switch cabinet construction, system installation, software creation, system visualisation, commissioning and production support.

Objective: This mobile roller conveyor is used for automatic container filling with punched parts from an automatic punching press.

1. Feeding empty mesh baskets:
   The stainless steel baskets are fed at the beginning of the system. Three separately driven sections form the spaces for empty containers. The system is driven by motorised rollers. Sensors (light barriers, buttons, initiators) ensure the exact positioning of each basket. There are seven bin locations in total. Three spaces for empty containers, one space as a filling position and three spaces for filled containers. Each station is driven separately.

2. Filling station:
   The centre station of the conveyor line is linked to the automatic punching press as an automatic filling station. Here, the punched parts are fed directly into the baskets provided.

3. Discharge of filled baskets:
   Once the specified filling quantity has been reached, the filled basket is automatically transported onwards. Three further conveyor positions are available for baskets that have already been filled.

4. Mobile base frame:
   The entire roller conveyor is mounted on a sturdy, mobile frame. This allows the buffer system to be simply pushed away from the punching press during maintenance work or conversions.

This buffer system was also completely planned, manufactured and commissioned by TEGEL-TECHNIK - including all mechanical and electrical components as well as the appropriate software. The control system ensures that all seven stations are cycled without back pressure and enables automated basket changes without manual intervention.

Our services in the project:

• Control cabinet construction & circuit diagrams

• PLC programming & visualisation
