Our Solution:

Ball droppers are typically installed before Automatic Rotary Modules (ARM) or as integrated modules within them. Since the client already had an ARM, our role was to deliver only the ball dropper module. We implemented a modular ball dropping system that allows configuration according to the required number of balls.

Our priority was to minimize downtime and ensure production continuity. The ball dropper module was designed to be easily installed in place of the old unit without prolonged production interruption. This allowed the client to return to full efficiency in a short time.

The implemented technology included:

• Precise ball positioning and dropping – ensures uniform insertion of the correct number of balls.
• Ultrasensitive counting sensors – accurately count balls and maintain 60 cycles per minute, regardless of the number of balls per cycle.
• Modular actuator system – allows the number of dropped balls to be changed with a single switch.

Workplace Safety:

Workplace safety was a key aspect of the project:

• Safety systems: The ball dropper was equipped with protective covers and emergency stop switches that immediately halt operation in case of unforeseen events.
• Optimized working conditions: Automation reduced manual handling, increasing operator safety and minimizing accident risk.
• Standards compliance: The machine meets all requirements of the EU Machinery Directive and is CE marked, ensuring safe use in line with the highest standards.
