Tapeswitch Corporation Improves Transport Cart And Bottling Machine Safety
Tapeswitch Corporation manufactures pressure sensitive electrical bumpers, which most commonly have functioned as a safety device on many types of mobile, utility, and powered packaging equipment, including shuttles, transfer carts, lifts, pallet movers, and conveyors. In automation, shuttles and linear transfer alleys often create shear points. Sensing corner bumpers on shuttles prevent injury and damage to people and objects at those points. An example of one application is where a linear transfer cart, which is responsible for a stack of glass bottles about to be offloaded by one of multiple robot cells and moved to an exit conveyor. While the transfer cart is gliding between the stacker lines and exit wrapper, sensing bumpers provide an important safety element in this operation. Safety bumpers should be strategically placed at the front of the transfer cart.
