Medium Duty Zero Pressure Photo Eye Controlled Accumulator
Standard Specifications
Driving Belt โ Black PVC 120 belt.
Bed โ Roller bed width between frames: 15โณ, 21โณ, 27โณ, 33โณ, and 39โณ. 7โณ x 1-ยน/โโณ x 12 gauge powder painted formed steel channel frame, bolted together with butt couplings and floor supports. Frame sections are 10โฒ0โณ and 5โฒ0โณ long.
Tread Rollers โ 1.9โณ diameter x 16 gauge galvanized steel rollers spaced on 3โณ or 6โณ centers. Safety pop-out design helps prevent damage to product or harm to personnel if caught between belt and tread roller.
Pressure Rollers โ 1.9โณ diameter x 16 gauge galvanized steel rollers with โท/โโโณ hex shaft spaced on 6โณ and 12โณ centers. Raised by air to drive tread rollers; lowered when sensing device is activated.
Sensing Device โ NEMA 1 photoelectric sensor in each zone detects product presence and activates the accumulating feature in the trailing zone if the upstream zone is occupied.
Power Supply โ 120 VAC power supply controls the accumulation feature with 24 VDC output. Power supply will control 50 accumulation zones.
Air Requirements โ Operating pressure is 20โ35 psi on main trunk line.
Accumulation Zones โ 24โณ, 30โณ, or 36โณ long, air operated. Conveyor frame lengths change with zone lengths. Note: Zone length must be evenly divisible by roller centers.
Filter/Regulator โ Supplied loose for mounting to conveyor side frame, with ยณ/โโณ NPT ports. 35 to 40 psi recommended operating pressure with free air consumption of .006 cu. ft. per sensor operation.
Guard Rails โ 1-ยน/โโณ x 1-ยน/โโณ x 12 gauge galvanized angle guard rails, both sides. Note: Product contact with guard rails will affect product flow.
Tail Pulley โ 4โณ diameter crowned with 1-ยณ/โโโณ diameter shaft.
Drive Pulley โ 8โณ diameter crowned and fully lagged with 1-โท/โโโณ diameter shaft. Located at infeed end of conveyor.
Snub Roller โ 2-ยน/โโณ diameter adjustable, located directly behind drive pulley. 2โณ diameter at each end directly behind terminal pulleys.
Return Idlers โ 1.9โณ diameter adjustable on 10โฒ0โณ centers.
Floor Supports โ 31-ยน/โโณ to 45-ยน/โโณ adjustable from floor to top of rollers. One support supplied at each end of conveyor and at each bed joint.
Take-Up โ Screw type take-up located at end of conveyor to maintain belt tension. 12โณ of belt take-up provided.
Bearings โ Sealed and prelubricated with cast iron housings.
Speed Reducer โ C-Face mounted heavy duty worm gear reducer.
Motor โ ยน/โ HP 230/460-3-60 TE motor.
Conveyor Speed โ 60 FPM constant. Some higher and lower speeds available; however, most efficient accumulation occurs at 60 FPM.
Capacity โ 150 pounds per foot maximum unit load. Not to exceed Load Capacity Chart.
Optional Equipment
Center Drive โ Mounted below conveyor bed section. Can be placed almost anywhere in conveyor length.
Floor Supports โ Higher or lower supports available. Minimum elevation with standard end drive is 25โณ.
Accumulation Zones โ 18โณ long, air operated. Note: Zone length must be evenly divisible by roller centers.
Roller Brakes โ Four rollers per zone.
Slug Release โ Allows conveyor to be unloaded quickly when the accumulation feature is not required.
Ceiling Hangers โ ยน/โโณ diameter threaded rods 8โฒ0โณ long with locking nuts and mounting hardware. Other lengths are available.
Air Control Zone Stop โ Pneumatic brake to stop rollers in work station area.
Motor โ Single phase, energy efficient, explosion proof, etc. Other HP available.
Electrical Controls โ Magnetic starters and push button stations; manual motor starters with overload protection, others.
Operational Sequence
- Model 190ABE is loaded at the infeed end of conveyor. The first load travels the entire length of conveyor to Zone #1. If the photoelectric sensor in Zone #1 has been activated by an external signal, normally open contact not supplied, the product will stop in Zone #1.
- The second load travels the length of conveyor until it reaches Zone #2. If Zone #1 is occupied, the second load will stop in Zone #2. Load #3 will stop in Zone #3 and the conveyor will continue to accumulate at zero pressure until fully loaded.
- To unload, an external signal to the photoelectric sensor in Zone #1 releases the accumulation feature and allows the product in Zone #1 to leave the conveyor. The load in Zone #2 will not advance into Zone #1 until the load in Zone #1 has completely cleared Zone #1โs photoelectric sensor. The third load will not advance into Zone #2 until the second load clears the photoelectric sensor in Zone #2. Once the first load clears the photoelectric sensor in Zone #1, the external signal must be restored to Zone #1โs photoelectric sensor for accumulation to continue.
