Part Heating Conveyor System

MWES provided our customer with a system that would use conveyors to remotely convey parts into, within and out of an oven. The system would begin when an operator places a part on the Infeed Conveyor. The system conveys the part onto one of six conveyors inside the oven. When the parts have spent enough time in the oven, an operator can convey any of the parts out of the oven. In addition, two remote conveyors are provided for the Hennecke Door Foamer.

The system begins when the operator manually loads the parts onto the infeed conveyor and scans the barcodes into the PLC. The infeed conveyor moves the parts into the heated booth and onto the lift conveyor. The lift raises to the first available level and transfers the parts into an empty storage location. A timer sequence will start and as soon as the parts are in place in storage. The PLC tracks the location of each part from the barcode it collected.

After a designated amount of time passes the operator will select a part from the oven storage inventory screen on the HMI. The lift will raise to the level of the selected part and transfer it over to the lift. The lift lowers down to the outfeed conveyor and transfers the part to the unload station where the operator manually removes the door from the station. Additional remote conveyors are also supplied to support a door foamer insulation machine.
