The IHS-2003 handling system, designed for the integration of a Dr. Schenk Vcc.ism, is a mechanical handling system designed specifically to support the high speed automated inspection of CD/DVD’s in a manufacturing environment with minimum operator intervention.

The system is designed to inspect and/or reject discs at speeds up to 40 parts per minute (or greater depending on the Test System). The discs are fed to the inspection point by a six-spindle changer. The discs are presented to the inspection point by a pick and place mechanism and once inspected, are picked and placed onto a reject/transfer station. If the disc fails inspection, it is rejected at this point. Alternatively, it is picked and placed onto a spindle on the Output Conveyor. Exact quantities can be kitted to the output as required (i.e. 10s’, 25s’, 50s’, 100s’ etc).

Care has been taken in the design to ensure a minimum spindle change at the output so as to ensure minimum downtime when batching off in small quantities for manual assembly/fulfilment.

The design of the handling system has been carefully though out so as to enable easy access to the Dr. Schenk Vcc.ism for maintenance and reconfiguration through interlocked doors.

IHS-2003 Features

• Floor Standing Unit.

IHS-2003 Options

• Spindle Elevator to cater for varying height spindles.
• Hepa Filter.
• Reject mechanism with secure collection bin beneath table-top.

IHS-2003 Benefits

• Operator defined batch counts capability – invaluable where hand-packaging quality assurance is controlled by kitting exact quantities to operator.
• 100% incoming inspection capability without risk of incurring line downtime.
• Off-line sampling for process verification.
