Dorner's 90 Degree Transfer with Product Stager

Posted by Kelly Howe on July 14, 2015 09:00 AM

This post is brought to you by Dorner.

For this application, the customer needed to complete a 90 degree transfer without having the product skew. The packages are coming out of a product sealer in batches of three. They are set at a particular width spacing which we matched with specific lane guides on the first conveyor in the system.

The product travels down this conveyor onto a second conveyor and into a popup stager. The stager is there to ensure that the packages do not skew and it maintains equal spacing between products. The second conveyor is feeding into a freezer which requires the product to have a consistent orientation.

Using the photo-eye and built in timer, the pneumatic guided cylinder then lifts the stager up and allows the product to travel down the conveyor.  Once the photo-eye on the second conveyor detects the products are clear, the stager is returned to loading position.
