The accumulator is placed directly downstream from the processing machine to hold the processed material should the processing equipment be accidentally or intentionally stopped.
The product is taken from the machine directly before it, and introduced into the material accumulator. The product is accumulated by a series of set and mobile rollers during the operations of transversal cutting, as well as end-roll and start-roll operations.
According to the kind of material that must be stocked, the machine can have the accumulator cart with a pneumatic or motorised command.
AC-MB (Motorized)
The AC-MB accumulator is furnished with a (patented) device that allows the accumulation of materials of low unit weight and light structure, which would not be affected by deformation and lengthening.
The system is run by a P.L.C. integrated into the command panel. A system of limit stroke switches and sensors regulates and checks all the movements of the machine. Combined with a series of electronic control devices, the PLC guarantees a high degree of accuracy in the working process, and ease of use for the operator.
A system of limit switches and safety photocells, together with a series of protection panels, allows the operator to work in maximum safety.
AC-P (Pneumatic)
The pneumatic accumulator AC-P consists of a bearing structure built in steel sections and bent plates that the mechanical commands set for the phasing of the two accumulator carts are anchored.
Running in the internal part of the lateral stanchions of the structure of the machine, in opposite directions, are the two mobile carts that are furnished with idle rollers upon which the material is sent in a series of "S-shaped" paths.
The vertical movement in the opposite directions of both carts, causes the lengthening of the path of the material within the machine and therefore, its accumulation within it.
The tension of the material can be varied through the pressure exerted upon the carts by a pair of regulated pneumatic cylinders.
In the central part of the machine, on the side of the command panel, there is a linear encoder positioned to synchronise the speed between the machines placed before and after the accumulator.
Two limit switches placed in the bottom, central and top parts of the machine. When the accumulator cart is beyond the work limits a signal with be indicated on the control panel.
