[Ware Handling] Automated Detection Of Non-Linear Lehr Stacking

Sheppee International's Hot End Row Monitor (HERM) is mounted across the annealing lehr entrance, where it continuously monitors the alignment of rows of containers being loaded. Alignment errors are alarmed, informing production personnel that attention is needed. This early warning enables the stacker to set up to be optimised continuously, reducing the effect of bad stacking on the cold end spray operation and reducing the potential for ware falling over on the lehr belt. According to the company, benefits include: Constant row monitoring; Operator adjustable alarm setting; Reduced cold end coating rejects: Compact, non-contact beam sensors and fibre optics.
