Chain Conveyors
Bunker conveyor with linear oscillating line for sorting and infeeding workpieces in the correct position.
Chain conveyor with lateral discharge for sliding and rolling workpieces.
NSM chain conveyors are available in two designs:
As overhead devices with link conveyor chain and as plate chain conveyors with a sloping lateral discharge.
The link conveyor chain of the overhead device is equipped with hardened carrying strips which transport
the workpieces stored in the bunker of the conveyor and transfer the same onto the subsequent sorting facility.
Within the area of the linear oscillating line, the workpieces are fed across sorting baffles.
Double positions and incorrect positions are reversed into the conveyor bunker or the separate upstream hopper.
For removal handling, correct positions are ensured from a parts store queue, or without any queue pressure
as single items from a separating nest.
In the case of infeeding with a lateral discharge, workpieces are sorted within the area of the discharge rail,
in part by means of a sorting slide with integrated fitting. As the workpieces must slide / roll onto the discharge
rails via the carriers mounted diagonally on the plate conveyor chain, conveyors with a lateral discharge are
particularly suitable for disc-shaped and ring-shaped workpieces, but also for short cylindrical bolts or square pins.
Both conveyor designs are available in different standard versions.
The are suitable for infeeding metallic and non-metallic workpieces with a maximum piece weight of approx. 8 kg.
