ABSTRACT:
A workload regulator for controlling the flow of articles between work stations at which the articles are produced.
The apparatus receives a continuous flow of articles on various inbound tracks, subdivides the continuous flow into individual arrays or groups of articles, picks up these groups of articles and deposits them in trays for transient storage, removes them from trays and transfers them to one or more outbound tracks, or transfers the groups from inbound to outbound tracks in a buffer area. The apparatus also positions as needed the trays into which plural groups of articles are being placed during the filling, or from which the groups are being taken as the tray is emptied. Also, the apparatus adds or withdraws trays, as needed, from magazines which hold full and empty trays, respectively.
The apparatus may have more than one transfer apparatus and may include equal or unequal numbers of inbound and outbound tracks. The handling sequence of articles is determined in response to the actual output production of an upstream machine work station and the infeed requirements of a downstream machine work station.
