MAC Automation currently offers five standardized types of automatic container indexing and loading systems. The styles are: In-line, Parallel, MAC-STACK (over/under), L-shaped, and Rotary Indexing Table. Three of the five listed systems are manufactured form either mild steel or extruded aluminum construction. These system types are the most common in the Injection Molding industry. There are other styles that are application or requirement dependent and are available upon request. All of the above mentioned systems can be filled or controlled by either machine cycle count or be a counting scale system independent of the IMM.
Automatic "Shuttle" Box Fill System
This design utilizes a support structure for approximately 4-6 containers, containers are located close to floor, a shuttling belt conveyor uses a two position air cylinder on a track system. The conveyor belt is cleated and has a forward and reversing motion. The sequence of the PLC controller allows all boxes to be filled by cycle count only. The alarm is activated when the last container is filling. An operator manually resets the system when completed and removes full containers while replenishing with new empties and activates a reset button.
