  • Page 17: Working Principle

    Description Working principle Reference procedure Before starting the machine make sure the machine is empty. When starting the machine, a reference procedure is needed. During this procedure the carrier moves down to the reference sensor. When this sensor detects the carrier, the resolver value is set and the machine is ready to run.
  • Page 18: Sensors

    Description Permission for movement Once the reference procedure is completed and stopping levels are programmed, the machine is ready to receive an product or AGV. Once the carrier is in position the product or AGV can move onto the platform. The product or AGV needs to be completely on the platform and preferably with its centre of gravity in the centre on the platform.
  • Page 19 Description Top limit switches (TCA-S1 & TCB-S1) The top limit switches prevent the carrier from moving out of its allowed range. When one of these limit switches is triggered, the machine must stop. Make sure that the limit switches give a signal when the lever is in the horizontal position. Resolver (TCA-E1 &...
  • Page 20 Description Contour of carrier On the edges of the platform or carrier a photoelectric sensor with reflector monitors the transition from carrier to surroundings.
