Conveyor
The SE500
ULTRA
receives panels from the upstream conveyor using SMEMA signals to control
the timing, it clamps the panel into position and also supports the panels with the lift to hold it
in place during inspection.
When the inspection is complete, the machine releases the panel to the downstream conveyor
utilising SMEMA signals for timing. The conveyor contains the major components described in
the following table and shown in Figure 5 on page 11.
Table 5. Conveyor Components
Component Description
Conveyor Belts The conveyor has belts on both the front and the rear rail to
move panels in and out of the system.
Drive Belts & Motors Provide electro-mechanical drive for the conveyor.
Panel Sensors Entry/Exit Sensors: located on each end of the conveyor
these sensor detect panels entering and exiting the
conveyor. Sensors work in conjunction with SMEMA to bring
boards in.
Slow Speed Sensor: A third sensor detects the panel
nearing the inspection position, causing the conveyor to
slow down for final positioning.
Board Stop Sensor: A fourth sensor detects when the panel
is in position to activate the mechanical board stop.
Adjustment Wheel Can be used to manually adjust the conveyor width.
Mechanical Board Stop Provides a physical barrier to stop the panel when it is in
position for inspection.
Board Clamps Hold the panel in position during inspection.
Panel Lifter Rubber magnetic support pins are moved around on the
panel lifter plate. When the panels come in contact with the
support pins, inspection will begin.
