Linear conveyor module
The transport device is used for feeding and clearing a continuous furnace, consisting of two linear transport units with attached, adjustable gripping and lifting technology (manually continuously adjustable in the range of 300 mm). The parts are separated on a feed belt and pushed onto a furnace rail by a pneumatic cylinder, on which the parts are transported through the furnace in time. At the end of the furnace, a cylinder pushes the parts onto the discharge belt. To check if all parts of the furnace cycle have left the rail, the parts are counted on the output side. The mentioned processes are carried out fully automatically via a PLC.
