Pneumatically operated side clamp box
pusher SOLUTION: Cardboard boxes make up a large number of the items that are moved on conveyors, therefore, it is only natural that there be methods devised to close the ends of boxes while the box is being moved on the conveyor. In this case, a box containing tool boxes is moved with the flaps down. A clamp is used to move the box over two special roller stops. As the roller stop is raised and the clamp on the conveyor moves the box forward, the flap flips down and under the box. When the motion is reversed, the other flap is closed under the box by the second roller stop. This results in a flat closed box, providing easier handling. |

| Choosing
the best sensing method for the 190 ABEZ
The EZLogic® Accumulation System offers two basic sensing methods: Retro-reflective and diffuse type. Each of these methods requires its own version of the EZLogic® accumulation module. The two modules, combined with various mounting options, provide several product-sensing options. The best sensing option to use is determined by the type of product to be conveyed and other application-specific parameters, such as access for side loading/unloading. When choosing the best sensing method and mounting configuration for EZLogic® modules on the 190 ABEZ, use the following guidelines: • Retro-reflective sensing is generally more reliable than diffuse sensing. • Very shiny objects may not be sensed properly in certain applications. • Use the "retro-reflective with standard reflector mounting" configuration whenever possible. • Objects with "open" construction, such as baskets, are not recommended for EZLogic® conveyors. • The "underside diffuse" configuration is not recommended when there is a wide range of carton sizes. • Small cartons may not be sensed on conveyors equipped with the "underside diffuse" configuration. THE TABLE BELOW MAY BE USED AS A GUIDE WHEN APPLYING THE 190 ABEZ. |
