The Changer module is a pneumatic handling device. Workpieces are picked up
using a suction cup and transferred by means of a rotary drive. The swivelling range
is adjustable between 0° and 180° by means of mechanical end stops. The end
position sensing is effected by means of electrical limit switches (micro switches).
Note
The end positions of the rotary drive need to be adjusted depending on the
downstream station selected.
