• Verification of position:
The body contains a housing in which the other
components are fitted. This housing must always be
facing upwards when the base is placed on the pallet
(in the next module). To
orientation, a check is made by a cylinder which
advances and inserts a cylindrical part in the body
housing. If the body is inverted, this part cannot enter
the housing, the cylinder cannot complete its stroke
and the magnetic detector on the cylinder is not
activated. A signal to this effect enters the PLC,
resulting in an indication that the position of the body
is incorrect.
• Movement to transfer point:
A pneumatic cylinder with a pusher at its end is used to situate the body at the
point from which it will be loaded on the pallet on the following module.
