INTEGRAL PARTS
The vision 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.
• Insertion/extraction manipulator:
A manipulator is used to move the body from the pallet retained at the transfer
to the place where the following operation is to be performed, the vision
inspection operation. The manipulator uses a rack and pinion type rotary
actuator which describes an angle of 180º.
An arm is attached to the rotary actuator to move the
turning mechanism into an unloading point placed
over the rotary table. This arm houses a mechanism
consisting of a toothed belt and two pinions, the
purpose of which is to keep the pads orientation
throughout the turning movement, so that it can
reach the inspection point in horizontal position. The
system of holding the body incorporates four suction
cups which use an ejector-produced vacuum to hold
the assembly.

• Rotary table:
This element is used as a system of alternating rotary movement, in the sense
that each turning movement moves the plate round by 90 degrees. To achieve
this effect, the system incorporates an electric rotary table that built-in step
motor (servomotor DC) for the movement transmission.
