VARIOUS INVERTER USES PAGE 2

Examples of Inverter Use in the
Stamping and Steel Industries

Inverters Designed for Load Capacities
from 3,000 to 15,000 lbs.

Steel panels that are stamped create burrs on the edge of the panels. Before each panel is folded to the correct shape, it needs to be turned over 180° so the burrs and any rough edges are on the inside of the cut-out steel sheets.

Stacks of steel with surface coating on the wrong side are turned over before going to stamping machine.

Steel panels such as door or fender blanks when turned over can be stamped as right or left door or fender.

Transfer off a pallet or make up a load without a pallet

Transfer off a steel pallet or make up a load with a different pallet

Built in fork tunnels allow for pallet less loading and unloading

R/R MK1 Extended Tables and Support Legs

The load will be placed between the clamping plates by forklift . An upside down pallet will be placed on the top of the sheets. The operator then presses the cycle start button on the console.

The Inverter will automatically clamp the load securely and lay it back 90 degrees, the load is now resting on its side. The load is then rotated 180 degrees on it's horizontal plane. After this rotation the load is tilted back towards the floor. (The sheets will now be upside down.) The clamping plate will then unclamp, thus permitting removal of the inverted load from the inverter.

Nestle Beverage markets its Taster's Choice Instant Coffee in clear glass jars. With the clear jar the customer can readily see the color and consistency of the product as it sits on the grocer's shelf. A fact that Nestle customers obviously find appealing, given the popularity of the product. This marketing strategy has however presented one major problem.

The jars are filled full at the plant but the product tends to settle in the warehouse and in transport thus reaching the point of purchase looking as if the jar is not filled to capacity. A sure turn-off to the average shopper.

The solution seemed to be to fill the jars and then store and transport them up-side down until they were finally turned upright as they were placed on the grocer's shelf. The question was how best to do this. The solution has been an In-Line 180 degree Recline/Rotate INVERTER

After filling, the jars are placed in tray packs of 12 jars each. Loads comprised of 210 tray packs ( 2500 jars of coffee) are stacked on slip sheets. The loads are transported via conveyor into the inverter. (The inverter will have another slip sheet held in its upper clamping plate) The inverter's clamping plates then secure the load. The load is tilted backward and then rotated 180 degrees. The load is then returned to the level of the conveyor. The jars are now ready for storage and transport.

The jars will not be turned upright again until they are placed on the shelf in the store.

R/R MK1 In-Line Conveyor Feed Inverter
with Pallet Holders

The clamping plates will compress and secure the load. The Inverter will then lay it back 90 degrees ( the load is now resting on its side ). The load is then rotated 180 degrees on this horizontal plane.

After this rotation the load is tilted back to the floor. The product will now be upside down. The load will then un-clamp, allowing for removal by Forklift or Stacker with the product on a wood pallet.

Clamping table opening is 120" maximum opening between conveyor surface and un-loading table. To a minimum of 40". This unit has hydraulic driven roller conveyor on (1) one clamping tables. This unit is equipped with 3 1/2" diameter rollers that are 6" on center. Length of this conveyor is 100" length x 72" in depth.

Pallet holders retain a pallet on the un-loading clamp table. The holders will grip the pallet by the front and rear. This retained pallet will then become the bottom pallet for the inverted product. The hydraulic system that controls the pallet holder will allow the operator various positions to move the pallet forward or backwards above transformer. This will allow the operator to align the pallet in the most desirable position above the product. After the product has been inverted the front pallet holder will extend forward to its maximum forward travel.
