Sample plant for press feeding for the production of the new German identity cards

Economical series production would be unthinkable without automation in separation sheet logistics that ranges from staging via removal to cleaning.

The automatic separation sheet feeder provides the sheet to the employee ready to hand, in optimal orientation close to the laying station.
The empty plate magazine (chain magazine) serves for taking up several press tools. The storage principle is “Last In, First Out”. The number of magazine positions can be configured to the client’s needs.

• Additional stowage positions in roller conveyors due to lifting rakes
• Roller track can be folded up in order for staff to pass through
• Roller track can be swiveled by motor as a tilting table
• Angular transfer as a combination of roller conveyors and toothed chain strand
• Turning stations
• Ball tables as workstations and for manual handling

For the handling of cover plates and separation sheets, we offer the necessary conveying technology, grippers and reloading portals to our clients and plan the necessary logistics concept. In cases where traditional 3-axis portals fulfill the required degrees of freedom of movement, we employ this solid and structurally simple solution concept. In more demanding applications, industrial robots enable more complex motion patterns at an attractive price/performance ratio. In cases where linear motions do not suffice or where higher product flexibility is required, robot applications increase productivity and relieve the staff when handling bulky and heavy separation sheets. The correct sensor technology and task-oriented gripper handling ensure process reliability even for different types of sheets in varying order.

The high throughput of the multi-daylight press technology can only be obtained by upstream and downstream storages for laid up and pressed tools. During the press cycles, the following order can already be pre-commissioned using the lifting table. Single storages as well as tandem storages are available for the individual tasks of the various pressed laminates. Dimensions, payloads and the number of stages depend on the concrete problems of our clients and can be made to measure.

• Optional equipment like
• Staircase
• Walkable pedestal
