incl. technical documentation

A maximum of 10 workpieces are stored in a stack magazine. The lowest workpiece is pushed from the stack on to the conveyor belt by a pneumatic cylinder. A sensor is checking the equipment status of the magazine. The workpieces are transported under four checkpoints by a conveyor belt of 680 mm, where they are tested on their material characteristics.
For the testing of material quality, each an optical, capacitive and inductive sensor are applied, the outline of the workpiece is checked by a pneumatic cylinder. A sensor at the conveyor’s end provides starting and stopping of the belt. By finishing of the testing sequence the result is placed at the controller’s disposal for further processing of the workpiece.
