8.2.1 The stacking magazine module

Orientation of the magazine shaft for workpieces
A double-acting cylinder pushes the workpiece at the bottom out of the magazine shaft against the front end
position and positions it on a workpiece holder or the conveyor. The speed at which the ejector cylinder
extends and retracts can be infinitely variably adjusted via one-way flow control valves. The end positions of
the ejector cylinder are scanned by magnetic proximity sensors.
An opto sensor can be mounted on the workpiece holder and used to detect the caps or the workpieces. The
workpiece holder is the transfer position to the next module.
The transfer position of the stacking magazine module can be adjusted to the transport height of the
conveyor module by installing a height adapter. This means that workpieces can be ejected directly onto the
conveyor module.

The stacking magazine module separates workpieces
or workpiece caps from a magazine shaft. Up to
7 workpieces can be stacked in the magazine shaft in
any order. By rotating the magazine shaft by 180°, up
to 17 workpiece caps can be stored in the magazine
shaft.
A light barrier underneath the magazine shaft checks
whether or not the magazine is empty. An opto sensor
can optionally be screwed into the base, which
detects the caps and the workpieces.
