To achieve
square cuts and accurate cut lengths with medium to long flexible
and rigid extrusions, Goodman discharge conveyors ensure that
extrudates remain straight and supported, and completely unobstructed
by the previously cut part.
Photo-electric
end sensing
An optional
photo-electric sensor can be positioned exactly-one cut length
downstream of the cutter blade to transmit an actuation signal
to the cutter, resulting in highly accurate cut lengths. Available
with micrometer positioning mechanism.
Air blow-off
option
Cut parts can
either be discharged from the downstream end of the conveyor
into a container or, using an optional "air blow-off curtain,"
into a stainless steel catch tray or other container positioned
alongside the conveyor.
The high velocity
blow-off air curtain is fed through manifold sections which can
be selectively shut off, reducing plant air consumption by 40
to 90% over drilled hole or pipe slotted systems, while significantly
reducing operating noise.
Mechanical
sweep option
For flexible
or rigid parts with heavy cross-sections, a pneumatically-actuated
arm is available to sweep parts into the collection tray or other
container positioned alongside the conveyor. |
