Merge module XBUT 45 MR, 90 MR, 45 ML and 90 ML
Merge module XBUT 45 MR, 90 MR, 45 ML and 90 ML
Function description
The Merge module gives the opportunity to merge two flows of pallets (satellite to highway) in a fully controlled way.
Stop positions
The two flows are equipped with stops in order to avoid collision.

Cylinder details
Cylinder A1 and A2 ”Pre-stop”
Type: Single acting with two ports.
Function:
Pressurized: Releases the pallet flow
No pressure: Blocks the pallet flow
For safety reasons, the pallet stop is blocking the flow in case of a pressure drop, preventing pallets from travelling uncontrolled along the conveyor.
The stop should not re-block the flow while a pallet puck is in a position where it could be clamped.
It is recommended to re-block the flow after each pallet.

Sensor details
Sensor B1 and B2 ”Pre-stop”
Type: Proximity switch, inductive
Position: Placed together with Pre-stop. Function: Detects the initiator plate of the pallet before the pallet is stopped and stays active until the pallet leaves the stop.
The reason why the pallet is detected by the sensor before the pallet hits the stop, is to enhance the efficiency of the pallet flow. As the pallet is detected in advance, the controller has time to take a decision whether or not the pallet should be stopped. If it should pass, the stop changes state to ”Release flow” before the pallet reaches it.
Sensor B1 and B2
Sensor B3 ”Sensing pallet route”
Type: Photo eye.
Function: Detects if there is a pallet in the merging area. A new pallet must not be released from any of the stop positions before the merging area is clear.
