28.3 PLC Activation
The flowchart shows the typical communication of a GAV8000 with the PLC of a device via the
PLC interface. Here for example, the GAV riveting gun is mounted on the transport slide of a
device such that it can move axially, the slide can reach its end position in two positions, at a
distance of approx. 50 mm from the workpiece and the blind rivet is inserted in the workpiece.
For maintenance and troubleshooting, the transport slide should additionally feature a free-
moving option so that the nosepiece area and mandrel ejection are well accessible.
