Storage tables, also known as buffer tables, are used as workpiece storage in the field of automation to make production processes fail-safe. In this way, short-term production stops can be bridged and production downtimes can be avoided.
Due to the continuous rotation of the turntable, the workpieces are evenly distributed on the workpiece storage table.
With the help of the deflector, which is located on the outer edge, the workpieces are moved to the centre. This allows new workpieces to be placed on the turntable manually or by means of a mechanical transfer.
A switch mounted in the centre of the storage unit signals to the control system that the storage capacity has been exhausted. In this example, the workpieces are removed manually.
The KBH round storage table can be designed in various versions and dimensions:
