rbm - Materials Handling Equipment

rbm designs and supplies individual materials handling equipment for in- plant material flow as well as material supply chains for the automated production.

Through very close cooperation with our customers in the woodworking industry we very well understand their specific materials handling and machine chaining requirements and always find a customer specific concept.

Application Examples for longitudinal conveyors:

Electric driven roller conveyer

Space between rollers partially accessible

 

   
Feeding roller conveyer

From the raw material storage to the Window-line

Roller conveyer partially vertical swivelling, pneumatically operated
   
Back view of swivelling roller conveyer with own power unit
   
Powered roller conveyor with automated pushing system

The scantling are pushed without any manual engagements from the conveyor into the 4-sided planer.
   
Roller conveyer for pallets
 
   

Application Examples for cross conveyors:

 
Cross conveyer discharging

All 6 chains are carrying plastic clips. The smooth surface of the clips prevents the damage of the scantling if they are not discharged in time and therefore slide together.
   
Special cross conveyer

Small angles mounted on the chains transport the scantlings on plastic guide rails. For this application it is important that the scantlings maintain their distance between each other.
   
Fast running cross conveyer

Fast running gummed cross conveyer chains take over the scantlings which arrive in a defined distance to feed the 4 side planer. This guarantees the necessary distance to supply the 4 sided planer.

 

   
Feeding part of the cross conveyer vertical swivelling

The material storage chain-linking will be partially disconnected by the automatically vertical swivelling conveyer if required.
   
Vertical swivelling cross conveyer

In order to get a passage, a part of the cross conveyer is moving up automatically.
   
U-chain linking in the plastic window production

The cross conveyer chains carry plastic clips in the way that plastic profiles could be moved easily and without any damages pushing in the reinforcements.
   
U-chain linking in the wood window production

The scantlings which have to be profiled on the left- and right-hand side will be transported quick and smoothly by the gummed chains between two machines.
   
2 layer cross conveyer
Bonded between profiling machine and frame press.

As soon as the first layer is filled with parts, because the profiling machine is quicker than the frame press, the cross conveyer will be lowered in order to collect the arriving parts in the second layer.

 

   
Cross conveyer detailed view

The vertical movement of the layers is done by precision guides. The positioning of the heights is achieved by synchronised vertical threaded spindles.

 

   
Back view of the 2 layers

The vertical movement free of clearance done by double precision- ball tracks and the totally dust protected threaded spindle is clearly visible.
