Control keypad:

With a green start button, a red stop button and a black manual/automatic cycle
switch.

- Air treatment unit:

The handling device includes an air treatment unit comprising a 5 µm filter with
a pressure controller, 10 bar pressure gauge, manual 3/2 stop valve and drain
valve.

Documentation:

The handling device comes with a set of hardcopy documentation, consisting of:
- Technical system description.
- Pneumatic drawings.
- Electrical drawings.
- Mechanical assembly drawings.
- Practice activities.
- Specifications for all of the industrial components.

Manipulator is provided fully assembled, programmed and tested.

Total measurements: 770x580x445mm.
Approx. weight: 31 kg.

The function of the handling device consists of feeding a part and expelling it if
it is not in the right position.

The part used is a 65x65x32mm anodised aluminium block with an opening at the
top, 32mm diameter, and another opening at the bottom, 28mm diameter, which
is used to detect whether the position is the right one or not.

The handling device is mounted on a 770x580x25mm extruded aluminium

desktop base. This aluminium base has 8.5mm slots to mount the components
on the base and two handles to carry it around. The following modules are fitted
on this base:

Part feeder module:

This module has a gravity feeder in which the anodised aluminium parts are stored
on top of each other, so that when the part at the bottom of the pile is fed the
rest fall down due to gravity. The part at the bottom of the pile is removed using
a pneumatic cylinder that drives a pusher adapted to the size of the part. The
components in this module have the following characteristics:
- Storage capacity: minimum 10 parts.
- Actuators:
- 1 double acting pneumatic pusher cylinder, Ø16 and 100mm stroke, with
speed controllers and initial and final position switches and controlled by a single
5/2 solenoid valve.
- Sensors:
- 2 auto switches, Reed type.

Position verification module

A cylinder equipped with a cylinder part screwed into the end of the rod that is
inserted in the 32 mm diameter opening on the top of the anodised aluminium
part verifies that the part is in the right position. The components in this module
have the following characteristics:

- Actuators:
- 1 double acting pneumatic cylinder, Ø12 and 50mm stroke, with speed
controllers and final position switches and controlled by a single 5/2 solenoid
valve.
- Sensors:
- 1 auto switch, Reed type.

Displacement module

Once the position of the anodised aluminium part has been verified, this module
displaces the part to an unloading area. The part is displaced by a pneumatic
cylinder that drives a pusher adapted to the size of the anodised aluminium part.
The components in this module have the following characteristics:
- Actuators:
- 1 rectangular pneumatic pusher cylinder, Ø25 and 200mm stroke, with
speed controllers and final position switches and controlled by a single 5/2
solenoid valve.
- Sensors:
- 1 auto switch, Reed type.
Incorrect part rejection module

If the “position verification module” detects that the anodised aluminium part is
not in the right position, this module ejects the part through a pusher cylinder onto
a stainless steel ramp, in order to leave the path unobstructed for the other parts.
The components in this module have the following characteristics:

- Actuators:
- 1 single acting ejecting cylinder, Ø10, 15mm stroke, with speed controller.
Controlled by a single 3/2 solenoid valve.

Electrical control panel:

All of the pneumatic cables and tubing are properly identified and labelled at both
ends.

The electrical and pneumatic control required for the handling device to operate
in stand-alone mode is included on the base, with the following components:

- 14 electrical connection terminals.

- 110 - 240VAC/24 VDC 60W power supply.

- Wired and programmed control PLC Omron CP1L for automatic/

manual operation. This PLC has 7 digital inputs including push
buttons, and 4 digital outputs implemented, i.e. connected to the
hardware.
