Positioning With Three Axes - Siemens SIMATIC S5 Manual

System Overview IP 266
1.1 Application
In an assembly line, a gripper takes a workpiece from a conveyor belt and
forwards it to an automatic assembling machine. The part is then returned to the
conveyor belt. Figure 1-1 shows the schematic arrangement. Included in the
illustration are three axes which are positioned e. g. via three IP 266 modules.
A linear axis can be used for raising and lowering the workpiece as well as for
cross-machining from the conveyor belt to the assembling machine. The move-
ment can be restricted to within defined limits. The conveyor belt can be
initialized as continuous belt (rotary axis).
