Contents and general instructions Designated use The Festo Checkbox has been designed for use under normal operating conditions in enclosed work rooms in industrial applications. The Checkbox Compact described in this manual is intended exclusively for use as follows: For contactless checking of the position and quality of small conveyed parts such as e.g.
The features of the conveyed part which determine the orientation or quality must be recognizable and distin- guishable for the Festo Checkbox. – It must be possible to integrate the Festo Checkbox in the material flow. Target group This manual is intended exclusively for technicians trained in control and automation technology, who have experience in installing and commissioning electronic systems.

In cases where particularly different variations of the as- certained parts contour (view) are permitted or are poss- ible in an orientation, you should show the “extreme” variations or as many different variations as possible when teaching. Festo P.BE-CB-COMP-EN en 0211a...
If the value only changes slightly, a sufficient scatter is then usually achieved in the current orientation. If the C-value shown changes considerably, this indicates that the conveyed part has probably been positioned incorrectly. Festo P.BE-CB-COMP-EN en 0211a...
