Shaft orientation checker:
The shaft is not symmetrical and must therefore be mounted on the assembly
in a particular position and orientation.
The shaft is measured to check whether it has been
correctly inserted. A pneumatic cylinder fitted with
magnetic detector registers whether contact is
made with the shaft during outstroking, or whether
the cylinder is able to reach the end of its travel if
the shaft is not in its proper orientation.

Material detection position:
As described above, this module offers the possibility of working with
aluminium or black nylon. To differentiate these two types and detect the
presence of the shaft, the next index plate position is fitted with an inductive
detector and a capacitive detector which supply the necessary signals to the
PLC.
Detection of the metal shafts necessitates the use of an inductive sensor, which
supplies a signal when the part detected is made of metal. And for the detection
of the presence of the shaft a capacitive sensor is necessary.
