As a key element for planning an optimum production process, the buffer and sorting system makes it possible to decouple key processing steps in the value chain and also ensures exten-sive process stability and optimised machine utilisation.
What is the layout of a stationary LiSEC buffer and sorting system?
A stationary buffer and sorting system essentially consists of:
• Transport shuttle (SHL)
• A sorting magazine (ASM) to be equipped according to customer requirements
Depending on the position within the production process for which this system is used, there are two options for its application:
A) Feeding of production lines (= positioning of the system before the production process)
B) Feeding of the ASM from upstream production lines with glass sheets that are to be sorted, buffered and transported out again at a later time for further processing (= positioning of the system after or within one or more processing steps).
How does a stationary LiSEC buffer and sorting system work?
Transport shuttle – SHL
The cycle time-optimised movement of the shuttle carriage (glass sheets are transported to the end of the shuttle transport carriage during the process) ensures extremely rapid cycle times with simultaneous contactless transport of the coating side.
Furthermore, the use of low-maintenance and standardised components guarantees a mainte-nance-friendly and easily expandable system.
Sorting magazine – ASM
The LiSEC sorting magazine offers the following:
• Suitable for equipping with up to 6 modules
