For depositing applications where movement of the manifold is required in order to achieve deposits of a product on a moving conveyor or in a mould, our range of depositing mechanisms can be tailored to suit your exact requirements. There is a wide range of mechanism configurations possible of which can be influenced by the following variables;
                                                                                                               1. Pumpable mass
                                                                                                               2. Type of manifold
                                                                                                               3. Type of conveyor   


Typical applications can include, 1 axis of movement controlling volumetric manifold pistons to a multi axes solution providing features such as product dispersion in a mould, controlled de-tipping and product build on a continuous moving conveyor. All of the manifolds that Wymbs Engineering manufactures can be used with all configurations of our depositing mechanisms.

Available Mechanism Movements

The illustration to the left shows what types of movement can be utilised to suit your application requirements. Because every manufacturing application is different please provide us with your particular motion requirements so we can configure the mechanism best suited to your project.

Horitontal (X-Axis): Used for pacing, over pacing and under pacing with the conveyor
Vertical (Z-Axis): Used for introducing vertical movement for the complete manifold
Across conveyor (Y-Axis): Used to provide movement across the conveyor
Piston Lift Axis: For servo driven piston lifts as used on our volumetric range of manifolds

Control System Overview
  • All axes are servo motor controlled for accuracy and repeatability
  • Motion electronically geared to conveyor
  • All machines function available from touch screen interface
  • Motion trajectories can be applied on the fly viewing the results in one cycle
  • Customisable recipes
  • 3 user levels; Operator, Supervisor, Engineer
  • Machine and motor diagnostics for engineer level including latching of all machine errors
