Hi All,
I was assigned a project to help to reduce cup scrap during a clean out process. The cups travel on four conveyors prior entering robot area and we have a diverter setup that diverts cups onto these four conveyors. We don’t have it where even amount of cups entering these conveyor which then all that product ends up in the scrap bin. I want to control how many cups entering these conveyors but not sure how I can achieve this. As of now it’s setup to work based of timers not counters? How can I allow only let say 50 cups to enter conveyor at a time? Do I need to instal add additional sensors if so what type? We have a few photo eyes that look for product jam and can I use same sensors to count cups entering the conveyor? Do I need to instal add additional sensors if so what type?
Thank you in advance.
