Accumulating Pallet Recirculation

Written by

Linking. Feeding. Buffering.

Built by mk North America – one of the leading suppliers of mechanical components, modules and turnkey solutions for factory automation. The mk SPU 2040 is an accumulating pallet recirculation system which offers you cost-effective linking, feeding, buffering, positioning and separating of workpieces in the smallest possible space. The robustness and the variety of configurations of the system allows it to be used in practically all areas of automation and material flow.

SPU2040-1

Automatic recirculation of pallets using a flat top chain conveyor the workpieces on the pallets are loaded on the upper transport level. After removal of the workpieces the empty pallets are safely carried over the return roller and then conveyed back on the underside of the conveyor. They are then once again available at the starting point of the conveyor waiting to be loaded with new workpieces. A second conveying level and devices for lifting and lowering are no longer required. Neither is any additional manual or automated loading of pallets necessary.

For more information on the SPU 2040 contact any one of the team members @ Blettner Engineering or by calling 317-862-9580.

Robot Show – time for Real Mechatronics

Written by

SMAC Moving Coil Actuatorsnnrn

The term “Mechatronics” was popular maybe 10 years ago. I gave a speech at the Robot show in Detroit and the MCA was introduced by the Head of Robotics at Ford as the first of the real Mechatronics actuators. It seems that it pretty much still is. So that will be a theme at our booth at AUTOMATE on March 23 in Chicago. We are sandwiched between Festo and SMC. So 20th century companies vs SMAC and its 21st century technology.nnrn
