Used Parcel Shipping Sorter; Allen-Bradley PLC, TGW Conveyors & Cognex Scanners

Description

This is parcel sortation equipment. For sale is an eight-lane sortation system that includes four (4) pneumatic sweepers that push parcels in two directions as they pass by on the conveyor belt (8 destination sorts + jackpot). The photo shows six of the eight lanes.
This is a small-footprint system that can sort a wide variety of parcels, including: small bubble mailers, a large range of poly bags and a variety of boxes up to 16”H x 20”W and 25 lbs. The system thru-put was engineered for approximately forty (40) parcels per minute. The current user has outgrown it. One of the four sweepers needs to be serviced. Otherwise, it was all working when it was recently taken out of service.
An Allen-Bradley PLC, with HMI, controls the sortation based on lane assignment from the WMS. Data from an indexing wheel on the conveyor triggers the sorts. A burst of air moves the paddles.
Included are two Cognex Scanners for barcode scanning, with their control unit, and two TGW slider bed conveyors attached to the frame. Not included is an air compressor.
Usability: The unit was designed for outbound parcel sortation, but can also be used for returns processing or any process that can make use of a barcode scan to trigger an event.
PLC programming is NOT included. The new owner will have to integrate the PLC into their WCS or WMS.
The sorter is 28' long x 76" wide. The height from floor to conveyor is 6'; total height is approximately 8'. It is made of heavy-duty tube steel and painted grey. Once placed, it is lagged into concrete anchors.
The unit does NOT break down. It will need to be shipped via truck. FOB Ontario, CA. We will prep and load it on the truck.
