The cup holder (see figure 35) is installed on the rotating joint of the mechanical arm. After the drink has
been selected, the cup falls into the cup holder and then sugar and spoon fall into the cup. After this the
cup holder moves the cup into the vending machine’s body for safe preparation of drink.

The dispensing area is equipped with a removable tray with a grill, which
is located right under the cup holder. The tray serves as a store for spilt over
drinks and liquids. To clean or change the plastic components it is necessary
to remove the tray and the grill to wipe out or collect liquid waste (see figures
37, 38, 39).

The cup with ready drink is brought out by the rotating arm within the range
of the optical sensors (if installed). The optical sensors record the removal of
cup by the customer. The use of optical sensors enables the customers to use
their own cup for drinks. To do this you must place the cup inside the cup holder
before selecting the drink. When the vending machine senses the presence of
a cup it will not dispense a new cup.
