Sorting Cylinder
As shown in Figure 3-10, the rear of the Sorting Cylinder has a proximity sensor which detects the
position of four metal plates arranged in a circle around the cylinder. When the sensor lines up
with one of the plates, the Sorting Cylinder is in the correct position to accept a container. This
position is known as the index position.

Note:
In Figure 3-10, the Sorting Cylinder is shown off of the index position
to show all four Sensor Plates. Normally, the
RVM
software stops the
Sorting Cylinder in a position where the Proximity Sensor and one of
the Sensor Plates are in alignment.
