Feeding and Buffering Workpieces in the Tightest Spaces The SPU 2040 is an accumulating pallet recirculation system for cost-effective interlinking, feeding, buffering, positioning and separation of workpieces in the tightest of spaces with automatic workpiece carrier recirculation. The system’s sturdiness and wide range of variants makes it suitable for virtually all automation and material flow applications. The SPU 2040 allows for acyclic operation (i.e. independent of the infeed cycle) with automatic recirculation of the workpiece carriers. The workpieces on the workpiece carriers are transported by the flat top chain along the upper transport level. The workpieces on the workpiece carriers are transported by the flat top chain along the upper transport level. They are then available at the start of the belt to be loaded with new workpieces. This eliminates the need for a second conveyor level or lift-and-lower units with complex control elements. It also eliminates the need to load the workpiece carriers on the belt, whether manually or automatically.
