Robot-based sorting and decoupling cells
In addition to drilling, Zimmer Systems implements applications for sorting furniture parts. These cells are integrated into an overall process, or can alternatively be used as stand-alone applications. Modern sorting concepts enable powerful and adaptable material flow control. The systems are designed for throughput rates of 2.0 to 25.0 parts per minute and ensure efficient sorting. Storage and retrieval take place via separate conveyor levels, ensuring a smooth material flow. Robot-based cells can handle several parts simultaneously, which increases process speed and reduces downtime. The storage volume of the system can be flexibly adapted to the respective requirements, so that individual requirements can be optimally met.
Sort Version Drive axle
Component sorting in the cell with drive axis is particularly suitable for solutions with medium dynamics and high volumes. The minimum output with one cell is 4-5 cycles per minute, whereby higher output requirements can be achieved by using several cells side by side.
Loading / Unloading
The loading and unloading units ensure that parts are fed automatically. The sorting cells can be arranged in various configurations (from stacks, from trolleys, connected to conveyor systems, etc.) and disposed of. The following image shows loading from a stack.
Sorting Version Round Cell
The round cell enables efficient, automated component sorting. The sorting cells are seamlessly integrated into the material flow. The round cell is ideal for solutions with high dynamics and limited volume. The minimum output of a cell is 5–5.5 cycles per minute, with higher output requirements being met by using several cells side by side.
