The Joining station consists of a Separating station which has been expanded with a Pick&Place module and
a bus node. The Pick&Place module is equipped with a suction gripper for joining the workpiece caps and
the MPS
®
workpiece bases.
The station can remove workpiece bases from, or place them into the flow of materials. The workpiece base
is held in the joining position at the deflector.
The function of the Joining station is to:
 Remove workpieces from the flow of materials
 Place workpieces into the flow of materials
 Mount workpiece caps on the MPS
®
workpiece bases
Note
Microcontroller workpiece caps can be mounted on the MPS
®
workpiece bases with the station.
This requires a mounting kit (8064882) in order to switch over from a suction gripper to a
mechanical gripper with gripper jaws.
