1 CAR XY STORAGE AND WEIGHING SYSTEM WITH CARTESIAN AXES

2 CAR XY at a glance: glance: Storage system to fill up to 18 containers, for a high autonomy of the system and an optimal exploitation of available space Top-performing determination of the content of each box, through high precision weighing hopper with dynamic calculation system and independent support to avoid interference from the system Distribution of the product via an opening unloading hopper moving on Cartesian axes, using a photocell to detect presence of the boxes. System logic operated by a PLC System Control Panel with possibility to set up to 300 different working programs Including when necessary, MB loading conveyor with FDA belt Full-cover polycarbonate dust-guards with openable sliding doors on both sides

3 OPERATING PRINCIPLES CAR XY is an efficient system to optimize the storage process and increase the autonomy of work of the IMM with an excellent exploitation of available space, filling up to 18 containers with high precision counting, without need to have them moved by an operator. The moulding cycle is received from the IMM and conveyed by means of a CPT conveyor into a high precision weighing hopper. When the pre-determined weight is reached, the product is released into a second moving opening hopper below the weighing one, which moves on Cartesian axes onto the first empty box to be filled, detecting the presence of the boxes through a photocell. When the moving hopper is located above the container, it unloads its content into the box, and then returns under the weighing hopper to receive the next release of product. This operation is repeated until the exact pre-set weight per container is reached. When a container is filled with the set amount of product, the moving hopper will displace onto the next empty box available, until all the boxes are full

4 OPERATING PRINCIPLES - DETAILS

5 MAIN TECHNICAL FEATURES Capacity of weighing hopper: 40 lt Dimensions of containers: 400 x 580 x 530 mm Max n. of containers: 18 Technical requirements for operation: - Power (including CPT loading conveyor): 4 kw - Standard supply voltage: 400V / Hz 3PH + N + T - Air pressure: 600/800 KPA (6 Bar)

6 DETAILS Conveyor discharge into the independent weighing unit and System Control Touch Panel Detail of weighing hopper and moving unloading hopper PLC Control System with Touch Panel

7 DETAILS Sturdy aluminium frame and full dust protection thanks to complete covering of the system Detail of polycarbonate dust guards installed at the weighing hopper dropping point Casters with pullout anti-vibrating supports, installed on the storage structure and on weighing unit, to allow to easily move the system, and to prevent vibrations to interfere with the weighing process when the system is working.

8 DETAILS Detail of moving hopper and cartesian axes Detail of the moving hopper - opening Motor-operated roller conveyor to help in box loading and unloading operations

9 DETAILS Upward sliding doors on both sides, for box loading and unloading operations Detail of photocells installed on the roller conveyor for box presence detection Levels placed on the structure s four angles and on the weighing device support, for maximum stability of the system

10 MAIN FUNCTIONS Monitoring the status of the operation process, the presence of the boxes and their content in terms of number of pieces and weight Possibility to store up to 300 different working programs Possibility to set up to 3 different unloading positions for each container

11 FUNCTIONS - DETAIL Position 1 Position 2 Position 3 Setting different unloading positions in the same container allows to avoid central accumulation of the product and optimize the filling level of the boxes, which can be increased up to + 10%

12 OTHER FUNCTIONS Batch management and statistics: timings, monitoring of production cycles, counting of good pieces and nonstandard ones, etc. Weighing function management & settings Timing control and end of operation estimate

13 OTHER STORAGE APPLICATIONS 3-stage vertical carrousel with lifting transfer conveyor Rotating horizontal carrousels single and multi-stage Horizontal carrousel with juxtaposed flat conveyors
