Electro-mechanical accumulator

Pneumatic accumulator

These are used on the production line to accumulate bulky material (whether as a result of its thickness or density and/or hardness) that is to be or has already been machined, avoiding pauses in production for reel changes.
The accumulators are of two types

1. Electro-mechanical: 
   driven electronically by two dancing arm tracer points, one at the inlet and one at the outlet. The dancing arm at the inlet controls the lifting of the accumulator mount, while the one at the outlet controls the lowering. 
   
   

2. Pneumatic: 
   the system is gravitational with the accumulator mount being moved by a pneumatic piston.
   The diameter of the accumulator rolls depends on the flexibility and hardness of the product to be collected, while the metres accumulated are proportional to the speed of the plant.
