Tip Reject
• | Case Roller Conveyor: The Case Flights push the case out of compression onto the Case Roller Conveyor (MT1102). As the case leaves the case packer, Adjustable Case Flap (PE46603) and Fixed Case Flap (PE46602) photo eyes monitor for open case flaps. The roller conveyor transfers the product to the Tip Reject Stop (SV45702) |
• | Tip Reject Stop: The Tip Reject Stop extends between the rollers on the conveyor to stop the case on the Case Roller Conveyor. This stop is triggered by Case at Tip Reject (PE46700) photo eye |
• | Tip Reject Flights: Once a case is against the Tip Reject Stop, the Tip Reject Flights (SM18) move to push the case toward the reject door. If open flaps were previously detected, the Tip Reject Flights will keep pushing the case until it slides out the reject door |
• | Tip Fingers: If open flaps were not previously detected, then servo driven Tip Fingers (SM17) extend up from the conveyor surface and, in conjunction with the Tip Reject Flights (SM18), tip the case 90 degrees back onto the Case Roller Conveyor. The Tip Reject Flights then reverse direction and push the case back to the fixed line backstop. |
• | The Tip Reject Flights and Tip Fingers are slaves to a Master. The motion profile for the Tip Reject Flights and Tip Fingers are provided through electronic cam tables |
• | Case Discharge Conveyor: If a good case was tipped, the Tip Reject Stop (SV45702) retracts and the case is transferred out of the machine onto the Case Discharge Conveyor (MT202). The Tip Reject Stop (PE46702) photo eye tells the Tip Reject Stop (SV45702) when it is OK to extend. |
