Technical Specifications

Functional Description:

The Feeder Station separates the components from the Stack Magazine and distributes the components one by one via Rotary pick and place module for further processing. The Station consists of the following major parts

• FRCLM module
• Dispensing module
• Rotary Pick and Place module
• Valve module
• I/O Interface Module
• Profile Table work bench
• PLC control
• Control Console

The Feeder station separates jobs stacked in magazine tube with the help of pneumatic cylinder, transfer module having a rotary actuator with an arm and suction cup transfers the job through 180 degrees, so as to feed the subsequent stations.  Provisions have been made for detecting the availability of jobs with optical sensors.  Networking and signaling the subsequent station for further processing is done by establishing I/O communication between the PLC’s of subsequent stations

The station consists of anodized profile table, filter regulator and lubricator unit with pressure gauge, on/off valve quick push connections and couplings mounted with suitable mountings for easy assembly and disassembly. 

Technical Specifications

Functional Description:

The Inspection station measures the height of the components received from its downstream station and transfers the correct and incorrect components to appropriate slides.

The Inspection station consists of following

• FRCLM module
• Inspection module
• Inspection slide module
• Valve module
• I/O Interface Module
• Profile Table work bench
• PLC control
• Control Console

Inspection station checks the jobs for height of about 25 mm using analog sensors and provisions has made to detect work piece presence with the help of optical sensor. An arrangement is provided to transfer the right work piece by a slide to the next station and send faulty rejected work piece to the rejection bay.

Station consists of anodized profile table, filter regulator and lubricator unit with pressure gauge, on/off valve quick push connections and couplings mounted with suitable mountings for easy assembly and disassembly 

Technical Specifications

Functional Description:

Buffer Station ensures steady flow of components to the process station by allowing one component at a time for processing. It can store upto 5 work pieces at a time and if the count has exceeded 5, it communicates with the downstream stations to STOP the processing activities until the count reaches 5. Buffer Station consists of the following

• FRCLM module
• Conveyor module
• Valve module
• I/O Interface Module
• Profile Table work bench
• PLC control
• Control Console

Buffer station is capable of buffering up to 5 jobs.  Buffering process should be controlled by a separator using up stream and down stream light barriers sensors. Retro reflective sensor detects the inserted job and keeps tag on the nos. of jobs buffered precisely while the separator module passes the job to the next station if the transfer point is free. The buffer station waits for the signal from the down stream station & as soon as it receives the signal is transferred. The end position of all pneumatic actuators is detected by using Magnetic sensors.

The station consists of anodized profile plate, filter regulator and lubricator unit with pressure gauge, on/off valve quick push connections and couplings mounted with suitable mountings for easy assembly and disassembly.
