Tilt Tray Sorters are probably the most versatile of all sorting machines. Aimed at larger and irregular shaped items, they provide an inherent facility for recirculation of items which differentiates them from many other sorting technologies. Above all, they provide for very high levels of throughput with a highly controlled sorting action, designed to minimise damage to items which can be associated with mechanical handling processes.
The design of the latest Logan Teleflex Tilt Tray Sorters has revolutionised the approach to tilt tray sortation and opened up the boundaries of possibility, whilst eliminating the weaknesses of other established technologies.
Designed and built around 30 years of experience in bagage handling technology, the latest tilt tray sorters provide the necessary performance and flexibility demanded in the modern airport environment.
A machine that is configurable is crucial to the success of any system. For example, the Model 700 series excels due to its modularity, providing ease of expansion and / or modification.
Benefits include:-
· Fast and accurate induction
· Baggage friendly design
· Trouble free input and output
· Minimal maintenance downtime
· Simplified maintenance schedule
· Maximum system availability
· Precise control
Many of these additional benefits have been realised through the innovative use of Radio Frequency (RF) technology which allows far more comprehensive communication between carriage and external system.
With simplification and the reduction of maintainable elements, the 700 series provides many advantages over existing technologies and systems.
By solving core design problems, rather than treating their symptons, Logan Teleflex has eliminated the shortcomings associated with other Tilt Tray Sorter systems.
Model 700RF Tilt Tray Sorter
The Model 700RF tilt tray sorter represents the most advanced sorter available today. It uses an electrical tip action controlled via a radio frequency signalling system, which permits unprecedented levels of control over the items to be handled. It also enables facilities to be provided which have not been feasible with previous generations of tilt tray sorter designs, for example, tray banking on curve sections.
When this sorter is coupled with state of the art dynamic induction units, developed by Logan Teleflex, a complete, capable and comprehensive package for sortation needs is provided.
General Description of the Model 700RF Tilt Tray Sorter
The Model 700 Powered Tilt Tray Sorter consists of a series of linked carriages powered around the sorter track by specially tuned Linear Induction Motors (LIMs).
The carriages comprise of powered tilting units, which support product-carrying trays. These trays are used for the transportation of products and can be energised to tilt to both sides of the machine at any software programme discharge position.
The tipping action of the tray is such that the rotational profile remains constant throughout the product weight range, without causing launching of the lightest product.
The tipping action is generated through the control of a specialised-braked geared motor unit, removing the need for mechanical latches, cams and switch devices. This contactless approach removes the necessity for maintenance and setting up associated with other mechanical designs. The other main benefit of this approach is that the tipping profile is not affected by the linear speed for the sorter. When a loaded tray arrives at the required discharge position, it is remotely signalled to tip by a Radio Frequency (RF) subsystem. When the tip has been completed the on board controller is instructed to straighten the tray prior to the next induction point ready to accept the product.
The combination of Linear Motor drive, electrical tip action and careful design of the carriage running gear produce a very quiet noise rating of 62 dB(A), making the baggage hall a better place to work.
