Plate Lifts
|
NELA offers different types of plate lifts that transport plates from one press level to another. The models range from a single plate transporter (see left) to lifts that transport an entire cart of plates. We also provide continuous motion elevator for inline conveying of plates. |
Pick & Place
|
This device picks the plate up with suction cups, rotates it to the required position, and moves it left or right with the linear actuator. The plate is then placed on the conveyor belts for further distribution. |
Multi-Level Plate Distribution Unit
|
The plate distribution unit enables the fast distribution of plates to the lower or upper stacker bins of the unit. Barcode reader and Plate Sorting Software puts the plate to the exact stacker position chosen by the operator. |
Turn Station
|
The turn station is used to turn bent plates 90 degrees when coming out of the bender for proper orientation on the sorting conveyor system. |
Multi-Level Plate Stacker
|
NELA offers stackers from 1-position to multi-level stackers with customer’s desired amount of positions. Latest installations include 48 position stackers. Based on the barcode information, the operator can assign each plate to a specific bin utilizing NELA’s Plate Sorting Software. Pre-defined sorting configurations can be stored and easily selected for specific press runs. |
Barcoding
|
A barcode is imaged on the plate’s peripheral area by the CTP device. Barcode readers before the bender scans the barcode and sends the data on to the Page Tracking Software. The system now knows where the particular plates need to go and the plate is transported to the desired sortation bin. |
