SICK Product Applications for Material Handling and Logistics

As the conveyor accumulates, product will eventually back-up into the in-feed or the start of the conveyor lane. When the conveyor is completely accumulated, a PLC or other control system is notified to either release the filled lane or to divert product to a lane that is not full. See “ZoneControl Product Release” Application Solution for more information on releasing product. Find out more information by visiting www.sickusa.com |

The products can be released one-by-one at the discharge zone or they can be released in larger groupings called a slug. Single Release is a slower and more controlled release of products, which maintains a zone length gap between products. Slug Release is a faster release method that activates many zones of accumulated product at one time. Either release method is typically initiated by an electrical signal from a local switch or from a remote PLC. The applied electrical signal can be DC or AC. These electrical signals must be electrically isolated from the ZoneControl system. ind out more information by visiting www.sickusa.com |
This application is designed to control the quality level and the positioning of hamburger buns as they come out of the baking oven. Once the buns are scanned and inspected, a robot picks up all buns that pass the inspection and puts them into boxes. Buns that fail the inspection proceed along the conveyor into a rejection basket.
