motor starter for conveyor

[Knobhead]

It's the small conveyors that cause the problems, people take them for granted.

I wouldn't contemplate a conveyor without pull switches.

Tony, perhaps in the sort of work places you've worked in, pull cords are the norm.
Imagine the chaos if you had half a dozen workers picking from a conveyor.
Much better to have an indirect drive which will slip under too much load and push button 'E' stops at each work station.
Courses for horses.

May be his boss wants to check his competentcy so he has come here to find out how to do it as he hasn't got a scooby doo.

I actually gave this chap some advice on how to wire up his buttons on another forum!

Was not aware that pull wires are required.
When did that come in?

Machine safety directive. It is also desired to have two channel safety relays for open style conveyors, as access to moving parts. Can't remeber the date whin it came in, could be 2006 or so.

The Thermal control is there to keep the button warm while your pushing it but not so hot that you burn your finger while holding the button in....

I`ve actually worked on a few conveyors at work, replaced the pull wire + EM stop unit, was faulty. But yes let me take over. Basically you put the wires where you were trained to put them. That is all.

These are the conveyor switches I've used for years.

Look quite different to the one I had to replace. I`ll post up a picture of it when back at work.
