3.2 Description of Functions
The storage station is a device in which a fully equipped loose member RMQC is held ready in a defined position.
Several storage stations can hold variously equipped loose members for use with a fixed member.
The loose members and storage station have been designed and developed in such a way that incorrect insertion
of the loose member into the storage station is not possible.
The storage station can be used with or without sensors (for position and safety monitoring).
3.2.1 Function of the Sensors
The figure below shows an example of a combination consisting of a fixed member, loose member with gripper
and storage station.
When the sensor system is used, it checks whether the loose member is present in the storage station.
The fixed member is then moved onto the loose member from above. The centering pins on the loose member
help with insertion. Along with the fixed member and loose member, the robot moves to the “test position”sensor
in the storage station.
The two sensors in the test position (test channel) respond when the locking mechanisms are lowered and are in
contact with the fixed member.
When the fixed and loose members are joined together, the internal spring-pin contacts are connected for signal
transmission.
As a result, the connect LED (3) changes color from red to green and a connect signal (depending on the variant) is
transferred to the higher-level controller.
