403-1 System, Distributing Pro-Joining-Sorting Inline – Operating instructions
8.4.1 The detection module
The respective workpieces are detected by means of the logic operation of the output signals.
The detection module can be mounted directly on a conveyor module.
8.4.2 The slide module
A light barrier deflected by a reflector monitors the fill level of the slides.

The detection module is capable of verifying the
presence of red, black, transparent and metallic
workpieces.
The detection module detects the material or the
color of the workpieces by means of 3 proximity
sensors with digital output.
One inductive proximity sensor and two optical
proximity sensors are used.
• The inductive proximity sensor detects the
metallic workpieces.
•
The diffuse sensor detects the red and metallic
workpieces.
•
The fork light barrier detects all workpieces.
The slide module is used to transport or store the
workpieces. The module is suitable for universal use
thanks to its variably adjustable inclination and
height.
If the mechanical stopper has been installed,
5 workpieces fit on the slide.
2 slide modules are used in the Sorting station.
Workpieces arriving from the conveyor module are
stored on the slide module.
