FLEXIBLE ASSEMBLY SYSTEM FAS200
User Manual for FAS200 - 32 -
This module rejects the bearing or places it inside the housing of the body on
the pallet, depending of the signal “tall bearing” or “short bearing”. The
confirmation of the bearing has got the correct height is got by a linear
potentiometer like a measurer turning on an internal flag of the PLC, signal “tall
bearing” or “short bearing”.
This operation begins when the pallet is positioned opposite the module, held in
a determined location by a stopper and a positioner-lifter on the linear transfer,
and when the PLC of the third module sends the signal “end cycle” to the PLC
of this fourth module.
The task of placing the bearing is performed on the pallet brought by the belt
conveyor and carrying the body fed and assembled by the previous modules.
The bearing fitting operation requires the pallet carrying the body to be precisely
situated in a predetermined place. To achieve this precision, once the pallet has
been retained by a stopper, it is lifted by a pneumatic cylinder and centred at
the same time by four pins which fit inside housings formed for this purpose in
the bottom of the pallet.
INTEGRAL PARTS
The fourth 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.
• Height measurement:
As the module allows the possibility of feeding bearings of differing heights, a
measuring manipulator is included to measure the height and to differentiate
between them.
