The detection module
The detection module is capable of verifying the
presence of red, black, transparent and metallic
workpieces.
The detection module detects the material or the
color of the workpieces by means of three proximity
sensors with digital output.
One inductive proximity sensor and two optical
proximity sensors are used.
•
The inductive proximity sensor detects the
metallic workpiece.
•
The diffuse light sensor detects the red and the
metallic workpieces.
•
The fork light barrier detects all workpieces.
The respective workpieces are detected by means of the logic operation of the output signals.
The detection module can be mounted directly to a conveyor module.

The slide module
The slide module is used to transport or store the
workpieces. The module is suitable for universal use
thanks to its variably adjustable inclination and
height.
If the mechanical stopper has been installed,
5 workpieces fit on the slide.
Two slide modules are used in the sorting station.
Workpieces arriving on the conveyor module are
stored on the slide module.
A light barrier deflected by a mirror monitors the level of the slides.
