Container conveyor technology
Transport systems for cartons, containers and components
Conveyors and transfer systems
With the WinMOD-SIMLINE system, container and small parts conveyor systems can be put into operation completely virtually. The basis for this is an extensive 3D simulation library, which includes roller conveyors and belt conveyors as well as typical components such as curved roller conveyors, belt curves and accumulation roller conveyors. The system is supplemented by lifting, transfer and portal units for a wide range of transfer processes. All 3D simulation elements can be parameterised with millimetre precision, so that the real system can be reproduced in detail as a virtual model system on the basis of the projected CAD drawings.
The WinMOD-SIMLINE 3D conveyor technology is then coupled with virtual drive devices. These come from the WinMOD libraries, are configured according to the real specifications and range from simple switching drives to complex frequency converters. This concept allows maximum flexibility when combining different drive systems with the respective conveyor technology modules.
Sensors and material flow tracking
In contrast to planning simulations, virtual commissioning also integrates the entire real sensor system for material flow tracking. Here too, the WinMOD-SIMLINE system offers libraries for real-time 3D light barriers, sensors, scanners or laser measuring systems. These WinMOD-SIMLINE 3D sensors detect the 3D conveyed goods with contour accuracy and thus provide the automation system with exactly the same data as in the real system.
Individual data such as barcodes or RFIDs can also be assigned to each conveyed item. These are read and written with WinMOD-SIMLINE 3D scanners and exchanged with the respective automation system via WinMOD reading points. This also makes it possible to test higher-level MES systems and optimise the material flow, even in large systems.
Pallet conveyor technology
Transport systems for cartons, containers and components
Chain and roller conveyors and magazines
The WinMOD-SIMLINE system offers a wide range of 3D elements for this technology - from roller conveyors and chain conveyors to turning, lifting and travelling carriages and complex combinations of these modules. Pallet magazines and dispensers are also available to realistically visualise the intermediate buffering of empty pallets in the layout. All components can be parameterised with millimetre precision - including conveyor distances, lift and travel paths and mechanical interlocks. This creates a virtual system that corresponds to the real design in every respect.
You can select the appropriate virtual drive devices - be it an indexing drive, frequency inverter, hydraulic or linear module - directly from the WinMOD libraries and connect them seamlessly to the 3D conveyor elements.
