6.1.2
Inward transport of pallets
Description
• Euro pallets with drinks crates are transported in longitudinal direction into a film wrapping machine
(wrapper).
• Required Performance Level: PL d
• To detect an incoming pallet, two sensors are mounted: PS1 and PS2.
• The sensors are mounted so that both simultaneously detect the pallet at a distance < 0.2 m in front
of the protective field of the safety light curtain.
• Both sensor signals are tested in the control for simultaneity (300 ms). It is not possible for one per-
son to actuate both sensors simultaneously within such a short time while the transport system is
running.
• Together with the "transport system running" signal, the evaluated simultaneity signal generates the
switching signal CS for starting the SPG cycle.
• Conveyor speed: 0.3 m/s.
• Automatic gating end not possible
• Gating termination required by the control
• Operating mode 5 without TH timer hold signal is used (see chapter 4.4.3 "Operating mode 5 - Stan-
• Entry of the pallet into the wrapper is not interrupted once started until the pallet is in the wrapping
position within the danger zone.
• A timeout extension is not necessary. The timer hold signal TH is permanently switched to OFF.
