The Use Of Roller Conveyor Equipment In Automated Warehouse
Oct 03, 2020
Roller conveyor equipment, as the main peripheral equipment of the automated three-dimensional warehouse, is responsible for transporting the goods to the stacker to remove the goods. There are many types of conveyors, such as roller conveyors, chain conveyors, belt conveyors, chain conveyors and mesh belt conveyors. The warehousing of the automated three-dimensional warehouse chooses a chain roller conveyor. The roller conveyor has a large number of position detection sensors to ensure the accuracy of the roller conveyor's acceleration and deceleration, so as to improve the parking accuracy of the roller conveyor. In addition, there is a cargo over-limit detection sensor above the roller conveyor to ensure that the cargo can be moved in and out smoothly.
In the three-dimensional warehouse, the roller conveyor has three working modes: manual mode, stand-alone automatic mode, and fully automatic mode. Roller conveyors can perform related functions such as completion of man-warehouse, warehouse-out, add-in warehouse, pick-out warehouse, etc. The operator places the pallet on the roller conveyor according to the guidance information of the LED screen. After the operation is completed, press the operation completion button, and the goods will be automatically stored in the warehouse. After arriving at the transfer station, another roller conveyor will come to pick up the goods. . The picking and adding operation types of roller conveyors can be divided into two processes: one inbound and one out. When the roller conveyor machine receives the order of adding and picking, it will automatically pick up the goods according to the location of the conveyed goods and automatically transport them to the transfer station. After the roller conveyor receives the order, it will also automatically transport the goods to the exit. When the operator finishes adding and picking the goods, press the operation complete button, and the goods will automatically enter the warehouse and arrive at the transfer station.
In addition, the roller conveyor can also be in manual mode and stand-alone automatic mode. When it is in manual mode, the roller conveyor equipment will be completely separated from the control system, and the roller conveyor to be operated manually needs to be selected in the control panel. Manually operate the forward and backward buttons of the roller conveyor to complete the storage and exit operations of the goods on the roller conveyor. The outbound operation direction is away from the roadway. The running direction of warehousing is: running towards the roadway. In this mode, the movement of the roller conveyor is controlled by buttons, which is purely mechanical.
When switching to the stand-alone automatic mode, the roller conveyor control system and the upper monitoring system will be separated. However, after the PLC control system receives the instructions issued in the stand-alone mode, the roller conveyor will automatically complete the forward and backward actions according to the inbound and outbound instructions to complete the relevant functions. In this mode, the roller conveyor is controlled by the PLC control system. When it is in full automatic mode, the roller conveyor system and the upper monitoring system are linked, and the system automatically generates instructions. At the same time, the roller conveyor automatically completes the forward and backward actions according to the storage and exit instructions. In this mode, the roller conveyor is controlled by the PLC control system.
