7.3 The Conveyor module
The Conveyor module can be mounted on a profile
plate, a profile foot or a slotted mounting frame. The
DC motor is freely positionable. The Conveyor module
is suitable for transporting and separating workpieces
with a diameter of 40 mm (e.g. “Body” or “Cylinder for
assembly” workpiece sets).
The module is supplied completely assembled. The attached motor controller permits clockwise and
anticlockwise rotation.
The Conveyor module is used to transport and buffer workpieces. Optical proximity switches with fibre-optic
cables are used to check that workpieces are present upstream from the feed separator and at the end of
the conveyor.
The conveyor belt is driven by a DC gear motor.
The workpieces can be stopped and separated by an attached electromagnet (solenoid) with separator.
