The CIM system is formed around a closed loop,
continuously moving, conveyor that moves pallets
carrying materials and parts to the various CIM stations.
The conveyor frame is constructed of extruded, black
anodized aluminum, and its moving belt is a double
flexible-chain rail.
To maximize efficiency of part conveyance in the
CIM system, pallets are not removed from the conveyor.
Instead, the pallets carry part templates (holders) that are loaded and unloaded at each station by robots
and manipulators. The pallets are thus free to transport parts and materials to and from any CIM station.
Magnetic codes embedded on the underside of the pallets enable tracking.
Conveyor stops alongside each CIM workstation include magnetic sensors for pallet detection and
pneumatic pistons for halting and releasing the pallets.
A PLC control unit monitors and manages the flow of pallets on the CIM conveyor.
