8 Function

The Distributing/conveyor station separates workpieces stored in the magazine tube of the stacking
magazine. A double-acting cylinder pushes the workpieces out one at a time. The conveyor module
transports the workpiece to the right or left. If required, the workpiece can be stopped and separated on the
conveyor.

2. The sliding cylinder extends and pushes a workpiece onto the conveyor belt.
3. When the sliding cylinder is retracted again, the conveyor belt switches on.
4. When the workpiece reaches the light barrier at the end of the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt switches
off.
5. If the next station is ready (I6=1), the workpiece is transported to the next station. Alternatively, the
workpiece can be removed from the light barrier by hand.
