FLEXIBLE ASSEMBLY SYSTEM FAS200
User Manual for FAS200 - 24 -
This operation begins when the pallet is positioned opposite the module, held in
a determined location by a stopper on the linear transfer, and when the PLC of
the first module sends the signal “end cycle” to the PLC of this second module.
INTEGRAL PARTS:
The second module, like the others, may be divided into a series of
manipulators. Each sub-division has been made by considering it as a set of
components which performs a specific operation within the whole process
carried out at the module.
• Rejection of incorrect body:
If the verification process shows
the orientation of the body to be
incorrect, a single-acting cylinder
moves it towards a ramp, leaving
the space clear for a new body.
Figure 28: Rejection cylinder.
• Placing body onto the pallet:
A two-cartesian axes manipulator is used to place the body
on the pallet that is waiting on the conveyor belt. The
horizontal axis is carried out by a dual rod cylinder/Double
rod and the vertical axis by a dual rod cylinder.
The terminal element is a vacuum system with a platform
with four suction cups (to absorb possible lack of alignment
in height).
