FLEXIBLE ASSEMBLY SYSTEM FAS200
User Manual for FAS200 - 52 -
The task of placing the shaft is performed on the pallet brought by the belt
conveyor and carrying the body-bearing assembly fed and assembled by the
previous modules. The shaft fitting
operation requires the pallet is
stopped and retained by a stopper.

module.
INTEGRAL PARTS
The eighth 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.
• Shaft insertion in assembly:
Shaft insertion, carried out at the last of the index plate of the previous module,
is performed by a rotary-linear type manipulator. This rotary-linear cylinder
makes it possible for a single component to pick up the shaft, take it to the
unloading position (stop position of the transfer) and insert it (inside of the
bearing of the pallet). The cylinder offers the possibility of independently
commanding rod instroking and outstroking as well as turns to left or right.
