5. Design and function

The Handling station is equipped with a flexible two-axis handling device. Inserted
workpieces are detected in the retaining device by an optical reflex light sensor.
The handling device fetches the workpieces from the retaining device with the help
of a pneumatic gripper, which is fitted with an optical sensor. The sensor
differentiates between 'black' and 'non black' workpieces. The workpieces can be
deposited on different slides on the basis of these criteria.
Various other sorting criteria can be defined if the station is combined with other
stations. By changing the setting of the mechanical end stops, it is also possible to
transfer workpieces to a subsequent station.
Starting prerequisites
• Workpiece in the receptacle
Initial position
• Linear axis in position “upstream station”
• Lifting cylinder retracted (gripper is raised)
• Gripper is open
