Check-In

These systems are used for loading, recording and identifying of baggage at an airport. There are two distinct models:

• the 2-part model
• the 3-part model

The 2-part model consists of a weighing conveyor and picker belt.

In normal cases the cycle for this is defined as follows:
The labelling of the baggage is done on the weighing belt in this case. After the baggage item is moved on in the cycle to the picker belt it is prepared for the inward transfer procedure. The inward transfer procedure to the receiver belt is automatic here with so-called windows defined on the procedure receiver belt, which are monitored from the controls. The baggage item is automatically transferred into the next space in these windows.

The 3-part model consists of a weighing conveyor, a labelling belt and a picker belt.
In normal cases the cycle for this model is defined as follows:
After the baggage item has been weighed on the weighing conveyor it is moved on to the labelling belt where a label is added.

Following on from labelling the processed baggage item is conveyed onwards to the picking belt and the next baggage item is simultaneously moved from the weighing belt to the labelling belt. The transfer process to the receiver belt is identical to that for the 2-part model.

The two models can both be delivered with or without an extensible cradle unit. The version with the extensible cradle has the advantage that maintenance work on the device is made significantly easier, since the entire unit including the scales can be pulled out to the front and is thus accessible from all sides.

A milled polyamide plastic part with a 75 mm thickness is used as the turnover device for suitcases at the end of the picker belt.
This plastic part is screw fixed to the panelling on the frame and effectively ensures that baggage items and suitcases get turned over. A height difference of 90 mm on the receiver is essential to optimise the turnover procedure.
