Una Spanish multinational specialized in the design, manufacture and commercialization of advanced technological solutions for the vending market, means of payment and security, contacted us to make up for the lack of supply of gearmotors with which he found himself to assemble his vending machines.

This great company operates in three major sectors: payment methods, access control and vending, although in this case the need that made him use our services focused on the vending sector.

Objective: to achieve a reliable product in accordance with the requirements

El product extraction system starts with the selection of a product.

Un Gearbox moves a spiral, which causes the selected product to move until it falls into a tray. The entire process is controlled electronically.

The multinational needed gearmotors For your vending machines that in everything they will work with a reliability in line with the most stringent requirements.

The company turned to CLR to get that quality in the supply of this type of device, with the addition of receiving, in addition to this service, immediate and direct treatment.

The challenge: avoid mechanical blockages and gear breakage

One of the common problems with this type of applied product extraction systems is that, on occasion, the systems can suffer mechanical blockages, which can result in the breakage of the gears that form the gearmotor.

This, in addition to preventing the service, generates a repair cost or replacement that you want to avoid.

The ideal solution: small reducer box

The main challenge we faced in this case was the need to make a reducer box of small dimensions capable of moving a torque greater than 2.7 Nm in a demanding weather conditions (temperature between 1 and 40º C and a humidity of up to 80%). All of this, in a very short time.

The project was developed in such a way that, once The customer contacted with us looking for help and a first meeting to gather their needs, the case study began.

After this first phase, in CLR we propose a product and make a quote for the cost of development and project, which included:

• The calculation of reduction in the kinematic chain
• The 3D design
• Mold manufacturing
• The first samples
• The preserie
• The production

Finally, to solve the incident, it was decided to carry out a reducer that combines plastic and metal gears.
