COMBINATION
90 DEGREE / STRAIGHT CONVEYOR
A versatile conveyor section that can send flat panels in either of
two directions — straight ahead, or at a 90 degree angle.
SYNONYMS
Depending on your industry, you may call machines of this type a two-way
conveyor, a branching conveyor, a splitter, a right angle / straight
conveyor, a dual-path conveyor, a transfer conveyor section, a spur
transfer, or a directional change conveyor.
OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
VERSATILITY is the best word to describe the Union Combination 90 Degree
/ Straight Conveyor. Versatile not only because it is capable of conveying
printed circuit boards side-by-side as well as single file, but also
because of a unique double mode operation.
Both modes work in conjunction with the pass line height of connecting
equipment. Mode #1 allows two processes to be combined on an inline
basis through the use of the Straight Conveyor. Aluminum rolls with
rubber o-rings are incorporated to provide the contact surface for the
printed circuit boards on the Straight Conveyor.
A simple flip of a switch to Mode #2 actuates air cylinders located
on the legs of the machine, which raises the entire frame so that the
90-Degree Turn Conveyor is now at the pass line height of the corresponding
equipment. By utilizing a 90-degree turn, two processes located perpendicular
to each other can now be combined. PVC discs with rubber o-rings provide
the contact surface for the printed circuit boards.
Both conveyors are powered by a fractional horsepower DC motor and
have variable speed from 0 to 30 l.f.p.m.
