1. Standard operating procedures
a) Before commencing operations with the machine the
following points must be taken into account:
Are there enough pots, plants and substrates available
within easy reach of the machine?
The largest quantity of objects to be transported should
cover the shortest possible distance.
From which direction are the pots coming into the pot robot?
Pots can be fed from the right and from the left as well.
Are the accumulators and forks properly matched and
coordinated?
When selecting the accumulators and forks
the gaps between the pots as well as the pot sizes must be
considered.
How should the pots be placed?
Pots can be placed in
parallel or in alternating rows.
Are the table end stops properly positioned at both ends?
You must determine the distance between the first pot row
and the table edge at the starting end of the table and the
distance between the last pot row and the table edge at the
end of the table.
What would be the optimum setting for the table feed?
The
table feed should be adjusted to the required gap between
the pot rows.
b) Changing the forks and accumulators
The MAYER POT HANDLING ROBOT will be installed at your
facility by our own technicians. While assembling the machine,
the mounting of the accumulator will be fixed in its initial
position. This will facilitate an easy and quick changing of the
accumulator.
In order to exchange an accumulator for another, first the
clamping levers must be loosened on both sides. Then the
accumulator can be removed and another one fitted in its stead.
After placing in the new accumulator, the clamping levers must
be tightened closely. Then the fork must be exchanged as well.
