Problem Statement:
Rated Thru-put Capacity Operator places magazines on in-feed platform conveyance face up. Magazines travel up inclined conveyance to overhead Data Logic scanning mechanism (option bottom scanning can be implemented). 3 chutes are provided to sort to SAVE WHOLE COPY, DESTROY COPY, NO READS (sent to manual backup scanner station if needed, plus image capture for post scan process). Includes: 3 chutes, inclined conveyance in-feed, magazine load placement platform conveyance, high-rel Data Logic overhead scanner, console station, SQL database, file import and export for stand-alone or integrated system All hardware and machinery is backed by a full year phone, email and web based support.
A short video of a mockup performed to test the in feed process theory. We laid out magazine in a stack and then pushed them to one side against brace shield to shingle them. The magazines move across the first drum roller to get initial separation. We have used a sensor looking across the roller and if the stack moving across the top is to thick we stop the feed belt to allow the magazine to separate without flooding the downstream. The second drum roller does the final separation on to the high speed belt. You will note that all the magazines get separated after the second drum roller.
While this test is a crude mockup, it proves out the fast paced separation using dual over-sized rollers. The rate established in this video is around 80 magazines per minute (4,800/hr).
