Montech: Optimized products in the live stream
At Automatica 2016, Montech will present the optimized LT40 transport system, the 4.0-capable TB30 and TB40 conveyors, and the Quick-Set profile system in a live stream.
Montech has changed the belt sections of its LT40 conveyor system from belt to timing belts. As a result, the LT40 has lower energy consumption, a 25 percent higher conveying load and less wear. For improved precision, the workpiece carriers as well as the touchdown and positioning device have been given a new centering system. In addition, the material was optimized to ensure better energy efficiency.
In addition, the transport system was equipped with the "Multi-Drive" control unit, with which up to twelve belt sections can be operated. A 180˚deflection as well as indexing ensure even more precise positioning of the workpiece carrier.
Efficient, user-friendly, 4.0-capable
The TB30 and TB40 conveyors are more user-friendly thanks to their flexibility and more efficient thanks to their drive than their predecessor models. Operation is via a touch panel on the conveyor belt. It is intuitively and self-explanatory designed and can be used for autonomous operation as well as for parameterization - operation via PLC.
In autonomous mode, the operator can set the start/stop, speed, acceleration ramp and running direction of the conveyor belt. These parameters are also available in positioning mode. Furthermore, a travel cycle with travel distance and dwell time can be entered in positioning mode. Positioning mode can be continuous or reversing.
Ready for any communication
In addition, the touch panel contains a status overview of the drive, which shows, for example, the current current, temperature and error messages. But also a support page and an overview of the technical data of the conveyor belt is available. If required, the operating unit can be equipped with a Bluetooth or WLAN module and is thus ready for any communication and evaluations.
