CSL was appointed to integrate
and interface conveyor
systems linking various
operations for a specialist retailer of
music, DVD/video, computer games
and related products.

CSL designed and installed two
lane sortation systems that could
handle single or boxed sets of
DVD/CDs, integrating and
interfacing this with labelling
equipment.

The products are singulated on
twin slat low friction timing belts
and datum edged to centralise feed
to the labelling position. Once
scanned, a security label is adhered
to the upper face and a price label
fixed from below.

A barcode scanner reads and
identifies the label that activates one
of several high speed pushers to
reject the products down a chute
into a dedicated store bin.

Operating at up to 60 units per
minute, the barcode tracks and once
a bin reaches the required quantity, a
blade stop is released to allow a
touching bin to move into position
with the full bin buffering up. Any
non-reads or specials are transferred
to a collection point at the end of the
line for sorting.
