Orientation of Tapes on Conveyor

07/02/2013 1:10 PM

Dear all,

Please give me idea to orient tapes on Conveyor

Those might come any way any direction.

But we need to have below way on conveyor.

Hire workers to stand next to conveyor and orient tapes as desired.

Suspend a series of broom handles or wooden dowels spaced about 4-6 inches apart and across/perpendicular to your conveyor travel with chains or ropes.

Place them so that they are lower than a roll of tape standing on edge would be.

The dowels will knock the standing rolls over on their side, eventually, and will not jam the conveyor.

I usually charge for these flashes of brilliance.

Do the Limbo Rock a few times under progressively lower bars across the conveyor.

There are some options, It depends on how much you can spend:

  1. If the center roll markings have always the same orientation, you can use a vision system and a gate to sort them out.
  2. If you can't trust the center roll markings, you need to pick roll by roll and spin it slowly on a spindle that has a teflon blade brushing against the edge, if it hooks on the tape end, it will pull a sensitive microswitch; that is your orientation signal.

In either case you need to provide an automatic feeder capable of delivering one by one rolls to the check station.

You can also bring the latest in intelligence and most advanced thing of the earth: a person.

Send production to undeveloped nation. Where with cheap labor they can employ workers to stand by the conveyor and turn them to the desired position.

What goes around comes around!
