AutoCrib RoboCrib 2000 E - Calibration and Alignment; Bin Doors and Baffle Assemblies

Technical Specifications
37 | P a g e
- Hex Shafts
o The machine contains 3 long hex shafts and 9 short hex shafts.
o Support the trays and dividers.
 Permanently oriented to position sensors by the center pins of the sprockets
 Bearings are stock UHMW polyethylene. These can be replaced if necessary.
o Mounting Arms
 There are 3 on each RoboCrib
 The flat head screws allow the tray assemblies to be removed and replaced.
Calibration and Alignment
- Shafts, sprockets, and sensor points are permanently oriented to each other at the factory.
- Alignment is set in the controller firmware.
- The system counts pulses from the position sensors and encoders, which are located on the platters. The system
compares these pulses to ideal position data stored in the Controller, then calculates the actual position and
reports position information to the computer.
- The calibration sequence resets the “home” position for the RoboCrib program to bin 111.
NOTE: If bins do not align correctly, contact AutoCrib for instructions on fine-tuning the machine.
Bin Doors and Baffle Assemblies
- Bin Doors:
o There are 15 levels of delivery doors.
o Each door has an LED indicator, which light red when the door is sensed to be open or unlatched.
o The doors are spring-loaded and are latched by a solenoid assembly.
o The doors will open after the fetch command has been completed.
o The doors have a safety switch interlock.
 Prevents the system from turning when a door is open.
 The door switches can be over-ridden by moving the bin door bypass to “TEST”.
- Baffle Assembly
o The moveable baffles adjust according to the size of the bins.
o The baffle assembly is protected by a slide pot assembly that converts its absolute position into a signal,
which is sent to the controller. This signal is used to position the baffle doors and calibrate at start-up.
o The baffle assembly can be removed and replaced.
