Sheet Metal conveyance?.
(OP)
we are putting up a Lean cell and where hand off is physically not possible, does anybody have any suggestions on how to transfer parts from turrets in flat, or from Press brake partially formed?

There are several manufactures of round belting. Often they are urethane with high tensile core.

Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. And scratch where it itches.

( 8 parts = 1 kit)
cycle time per kit = 180s
3 parts -> press brake #1
3 parts -> press brake #2
2 parts -> press brake #3
all parts in flat, biggest size = 35"x 38"

Each decision affects cost, time and space.

No surface finish issues.
Parts are fairly similar in size/ config.
Parts picked up by operator
Parts presented to brake in same orientation
Parts are punched in the same orientation

Does this mean that specific parts from the kit must go to specific brakes? Does it mean that the parts for a kit do not stay together though you want them to or does it mean that the parts become entangled such that the operator must do extra work to move a part to his machine?
Each option would seem to indicate a different method of accumulation.
