3.2.2 Mergers
Mergers are used to combine the flow from two lines into one. The lines can
be parallel or in a 90° angle.
The merger is an active unit with two infeed and one outfeed conveyor.
There are four different variants of the merger.
• Merger, Parallel, Left
• Merger, Parallel, Right
• Merger, 90°, Left
• Merger, 90°, Right
Figure 3 Merger parallel and 90 °
The unit has two sets of guide brackets each containing two photoelectric
sensors. The first sensor position on each side is used for sensing the
queue status of the infeed conveyors. These queue sensors are the trigger
signal for the merger to moving the rotation disc to one of the two receive
positions. This is done either clockwise or counter clockwise depending on
which conveyor to receive pucks from.
The last sensor is used for sensing pucks in the gap of the rotation disc.
This is the trigger signal for the main rotation of the rotation disc, with a
puck in the gap. When the rotation disc has reached the release position
the cycle is complete and the unit waits for a new puck to arrive.
