4.3 The CP Lab conveyor
The CP Lab conveyor consists of
a 80mm wide and 700mm long pallet transfer system
a basic frame
a control cabinet for controlling and further electrical components
a control panel on a mike boom
On the basic frame, there are coupling sensors for an easy communication with other directly connected
CP Lab conveyors.
At the start and at the end of the CP Lab conveyor, there are capacitive sensors which recognize the
pallet on the CP Lab conveyor.
A stopper unit with different ways of identification which stops and identifies the pallet.
A 36V geared motor which can be replaced by other motors (230 V / 400V). On the motor, there is an
incremental encoder for detecting the rotational speed.
The CP Lab conveyor is designed for transporting pallets with workpieces to move back and forth or for
transporting them to further CP Lab conveyors. Easy tasks can be realized here. It is also possible to extend
the CP Lab conveyor with different applications. This way, the field of activity can be extended as desired.
