Chutes,
which lead to divided lanes can be an excellent way to provide
automation processes. In this application, parts are placed
on the conveyor by a robot. |

Benefits include:
- Cavity separation: Separate conveyor lanes isolate mold cavities—an excellent way to separate family molds
- Quality control: If one section of the mold fails, only parts from that cavity need to be discarded
- Extend robot range: Chutes can be used to move parts beyond the normal 'release' range of a robot
- Increase robot speed: Chutes can increase the speed of a robot by allowing it to release all 4 parts at
once—without having to rotate the end-of-arm tooling
How does it work?
- A robot removes four parts at a time from the mold.
- It positions the parts over the four cut outs and releases them into the chutes
- The parts move through the chutes to the four divided lanes
- The conveyor moves them to the end and fills them into four separate containers
