Solinda manufactured and fully automated this conveyor system for one of our Canadian clients.



Inlet Conveyor:2 meters long x 7 meters wide x 0.75 meters high, built with a PTR structure and 3 inches channel adjusted to national commercial measures. We included ¾ studs with a rotating adjustment plate for leveling, traction rollers with Makitech brand sprocket to adjust the angles on the conveyors' legs, selected based on timing and cost. We also incorporated Sumitomo motors and a Tsubaki-type chain. The locating station includes SMC model MGPM32 cylinders and a lifting system with SMC mod CDNA2F40 cylinder, controlled by SMC mod VQC solenoid valves. As a safety measure, it incorporates a 12-gauge foil safety guard in the cargo area.



Static buffer: 2.2 meters long x 0.9 meters wide x 0.82 meters high, with PTR structure and 3 inches channel adjusted to national commercial measures. We included ¾ studs with rotary adjustment for leveling and an angle adjustment plate into the conveyors' legs. Ten black-oxide 1018 steel locating nests are integrated with hard chrome locating pins for placement of the piece.



OK Outlet Conveyor: 2.18 meters long x .5 meters wide x 1.5 meters high, with PTR structure and 3 inches channel adjusted to national commercial measures. We included ¾ studs with a rotating adjustment plate for leveling, traction rollers with Makitech brand sprocket to adjust the angles on the conveyors' legs, selected based on timing and cost. Sumitomo brand motors and Tsubaki-type chains transmit the power onto the conveyor. As a safety measure, it includes a 12-gauge foil safety guard in the cargo area.



NG Conveyor: 2 meters long x 0.5 meters wide x 1.5 meters high, with a PTR structure and 3 inches channel adjusted to national commercial measures. We included ¾ studs with a rotating adjustment plate for leveling and idler rollers for angle and leveling adjustment on the conveyor's legs. This conveyor uses gravity for its operation, and therefore, does not require electrical or pneumatic elements.



Retry Conveyor: 1.37 m long x 0.47 m wide x 1 m high, with a PTR structure and 3 inches channel adjusted to national commercial measures. We included ¾ studs with a rotating adjustment plate for leveling, a drawer-type system for safety, movement on guides, and linear carriages THK brand. In addition, we incorporated a system activated by a pneumatic cylinder SMC model MK2TB63, OMRON brand detection sensors, and finally, SMC solenoid valves and manifold model VQ7.
