Loader/Unloader (Lifting Equipment) Case Study of Bucket Transfer Automation
Issue: Need to make manual inspection process of food to be automated
The process of manually loading retort food into buckets and transporting them to the inspection process.
Application: Bucket Transfer
Challenge:
- Since the loading and unloading of the buckets was done manually, the production volume was inconsistent
Solution: L Series AC Speed Control Motor DSC Series Equipped Rack-and-Pinion Mechanism Automates Transfer
The L Series of Rack-and-Pinion Systems can be used to automate the lifting and lowering of empty buckets and their transportation to the next process. Since it does not rely on manpower, it is easier to estimate production volume.
Specific Application Examples
Rack-And-Pinion System Reduces Manpower
Since the rack-and-pinion mechanism and motor are integrated, once the motor is activated, all subsequent lifting and lowering can be automated. The stop position can be set by mounting the sensor.
The motor has a built-in load holding electromagnetic brake, so there is no need to worry about the bucket falling when it stops.
Reduce Takt Time by Switching Speed According to the Situation
The DSC Series-Equipped L Series allows the setting of 4 different operation data (speed, etc.). The takt time of the entire process can be reduced by using different operation data, such as low speed to raise the bucket with a load, and high speed to lower it after feeding.
Digitally setting the operating speed pattern in advance makes it easier to estimate the production volume.
