Page 4: PRODUCT CONVEYANCE
PRODUCT CONVEYANCE GENERAL
-
All types of parcels (boxes, totes, envelopes, bags) flow smoothly through the conveyor, they don't touch any equipment (photoeyes etc.), they don't catch on or jam over.
-
All types and sizes of parcels are diverted fully and correctly
ACCUMULATION CONVEYOR
-
Does the product stay edge aligned
-
Does the product accumulate correctly (No excessive line pressure. No large gaps between product)
-
Does the product restart correctly (No delay when the zone turns on)
-
Does the product stop correctly (Product does not over shoot zone. Product does not "crash" into product downstream)
-
When accumulating does product become "skewed" to the correct side (brings boxes to the right or left of the conveyor)
DIVERTING
-
Are all types of parcel diverted properly?
GRAVITY
-
Does the light small product make it down <br>the line when starting from a stopped position?
-
Does the product "rock" due to roller/skate wheels centers?
-
