Automatic Carton Turning System

Automatic Carton Turning system:

General description:

Indexing conveyor

  • Constructed from aluminum extrusion – 80 mm x 40 mm with twin 11-gauge stainless steel top plates, left and right
  • Tail and drive pulleys consist of two, nominal 3.5″ diameter removable aluminum pulleys with 1-1/4″ diameter bore, permanently lubricated, R16 (highest quality) bearings are pressed into each mounting block. Gap between pulleys accommodates the underside, centre “V” guide of the belt for belt tracking on conveyors where lateral loading is anticipated
  • Marbett CVR-16 1-1/4″ high guide on both sides. At the infeed of the turner the guide rail is fixed relative to the outside face of the turner. The side opposite is pivoting adjustable at the discharge to accommodate varying carton length (long dimension). Down stream, both rails are pivoting adjustable to the centre datum of the gluer.
  • Wittenstein double reduction planetary gearbox – NP015S-MF2 series
  • One Rotex urethane couplings transmits power from servo motor to gearbox two timing pulleys and belt from the gearbox to the shaft of the drive pulley
  • End driven configuration with underside centre take-up accommodates up to 4″ of belt tensioning. Take-up pulleys (two) are 2″ diameter stainless steel 11-gauge tube with pressed bearings
  • Allen Bradley servo motor – p/n VPL-A0632F-PJ12AA
  • FABCON 2LR/6 TR10 white PVC belt with 2 ply finger splice – 16″ wide – underside mounted PVC solid 6mm x 4mm “V” guide on centre – low friction and designed to accommodate lateral loading

Turning assembly

  • 1-1/2″ diameter stainless steel main shaft provides vertical drive turned down to 1-1/4″ diameter for the upper two bearing surfaces
  • Constructed from anodized aluminum parts that bolted together.
  • Overall width must be less than the narrowest carton in the matrix
  • Scott Rotary Seal R-680 rotary vacuum distribution module – full load bearing capability – eight 3/8″ NPT (G3/8″) ports – 60 psi operating pressure – 50 rpm typical rpm (60 rpm maximum) – 24 hour/7 days per week duty – 6061-T6 aluminum red anodized
  • Four carton handling faces, each with four Festo VASB-40-1/4-SI-B silicone suction cups and two Festo VN-14-H-T4-PI4-VI5-RO2 vacuum generators that are mounted within the upper and lower arms to reduce vacuum attenuation time
  • Four Festo 24 VDC solenoid valves in valve terminal – p/n VTUS-25-SB2F8-1D-Q10L-GCU1L-Q8T-4K+CL4
  • All vertical drive components will be mounted on a single anodized 6061-T6 aluminum rail to ensure precise alignment and facilitate easy macro adjustment of assembly position
  • Wittenstein double reduction planetary gearbox – NP015S-MF2 series
  • Two Rotex urethane couplings transmit power from servo motor to gearbox and from the gearbox to the vertical shaft of the turner
  • Allen Bradley servo motor – p/n VPL-A0632F-PJ12AA

Machine frame

  • MIG welded carbon steel frame constructed from 2″ x 2″ x 3/16″ structural tube, finished with Steel-It
  • Machine frame encapsulates entire indexing conveyor
  • Supplied with two locking swivelling casters similar to the existing casters on the gluer
  • All sub-assemblies will be attached to the frame with welded 3/8″ and 1/2″ thick carbon steel tabs with slots
  • Additional aluminum intermediate plates are added where initial machine set-up requirements adjustment on three axes
  • Electrical enclosure is existing and already mounted to the machine base

Control system

  • Allen Bradley CompactLogix L33ERM PLC – to replace existing L27ERM PLC
  • TWO Allen Bradley Kinetix 5500 servo drives p/n 2198-H008-ERS with cabling
  • Electrical inspection and certification by QPS.

Safety system

  • Supplied with two side panel swing doors constructed from welded 1″ x 1″ x 0.060″ structural tubular carbon steel doors with welded internal tabs, onto which 1/4″ thick polycarbonate panels are bolted.
  • Lower (below machine hip line) frame apertures are filled with 1/4″ thick polycarbonate panels that are fastened to welded tabs.
  • Each access door (2) is protected with a Schmersal BNS36-02 series coded magnetic door switch whose status is monitored through the PLC.
  • All AC servo drives have all device power disabled with category III rated safe torque-off.
  • Single zone safety control, monitored with the existing Schmersal SRB301MC safety monitoring relay.
  • Existing tunnel guard mounted at infeed will be re-mounted on the infeed of the carton turning module thus enabling a reduction in the length of the indexing conveyor and the module frame
  • Aperture to hazard distance will always exceed 36″
