Measuring station
Sequence
1. The conveyor belt motor switches on if a workpiece is detected. The workpiece is transported to the
stopper.
2. The conveyor belt motor is switched off, if the workpiece is detected by the diffuse sensor in front the
stopper.
3. The Rotating-Lifting module turns to the "conveyor" position, grips the workpiece and sets it down on
the measuring table.
4. The height of the workpiece is detected.
5. The Rotating-Lifting module picks up the workpiece, places it onto the conveyor and turns back into
position "measuring table".
Workpiece "Height OK"
6. The stopper is retracted and the conveyor belt motor is switched on. The workpiece is transported to the
end of the conveyor belt.
7. The conveyor belt motor is switched off, when the workpiece has reached the end of the conveyor belt.
Workpiece "Height not OK"
8. The separator is advanced.
9. The stopper is retracted and the conveyor belt motor is switched on. The workpiece is ejected onto the
slide.
10. The conveyor belt motor is switched off, when the workpiece has reached the slide.
Note
If no sensor signal is received within 5 minutes, the conveyor switches off automatically and the
station goes to "Malfunction" (signal lamp Q1 = 1).
