Testing Station

(llustration includes additional equipment and accessories which are not part  the main product)
The Testing station detects the various properties of the workpieces inserted into it. It differentiates workpieces with the aid of an optical and a capacitive sensor. A retro-reflective sensor monitors whether the operating space is free before the workpiece is raised via a linear cylinder. An analogue sensor measures the height of the workpiece. A linear cylinder guides correct workpieces via the upper air slide to the neighbouring station. Faulty workpieces are rejected via the lower air slide.
•    
•    Operating pressure 600 kPa (6 bar)
•    Power supply 24 V DC
•    8 digital inputs
•    5 digital outputs
•    Recognition module with one optical diffuse sensor and one capacitive sensor on mounting brackets
•    Lifting module with one rodless cylinder (stroke 225 mm), one double-acting cylinder (stroke 70 mm) and magneto-inductive sensors for position sensing
•    Measuring module with linear displacement sensor, mounted on the Lifting module, connected to a comparator for simple evaluation of the measurement signal
•    Pneumatic slide module, universally mounted on the profile, slide characteristics can be adjusted by means of the flow control valve on the underside of the slide
•    Valve terminal module for actuation of the pneumatic actuators with 10 mm inserts, comprising 3/2-way valve (normally closed) and 2x 5/2-way valve with pilot control
•    One-piece aluminium profile plate (350 x 700 mm) with 50 mm slot width, slots on both sides
•    An optical retro-reflective sensor monitors the movement
•    Service unit with filter and pressure regulator
•    Infrared receiver for a release message sent by a following station equipped with an infrared transmitter
•    Infrared transmitter for sending a release message to a previous station equipped with an infrared receiver
•    Terminal block with eight outputs, eight inputs and connection for 24 V DC. Amalgamates all digital signals and forwards these for connection to a controller via an compatible plug connection. The signal states are shown via LED displays for ease of troubleshooting
