Bunkers
The bunkers is a variant of storing , buffering , or superimposing of smaller individual parts.
The parts are disorganized in the bunker . When they are in order, they are called magazines . Bunkers are used to store screws or castings in containers, for example, so that they can be used later in production. In order to be able to process bunkered parts with automated systems and machines, they have to be separated beforehand, which can cause problems. But bunkering is easy and inexpensive.
Bunkers are divided into bunkers with workpiece movement, which are often used for untangling and separating, and those without workpiece movement, such as containers , lattice boxes or shepherd boxes .
A distinction is made between
- Hopper: funnel-shaped , opening downwards
- Rocking bunker: a tipping box. When tilting, the individual parts slip, a single part falls out through an opening. This principle is also used with many sugar shakers to remove a small amount of sugar.
- Hopper: The workpieces are skimmed from the container from above.
- Chain discharge bunker: A kind of conveyor belt protrudes into the container , on which there are elevations on which the individual parts get caught and are conveyed out of the container.
