The Pick-o-Mat is controlled by the customer's controller. The speed of the drive of the
TC-T rotary indexing table or the TR ring rotary indexing table can be regulated using the
EF rotary indexing table controller (option). The speed of the central drive can be regula-
ted using the frequency converter (option).
The startup depends on the selected control type.
6.2.1
Configuring the machine zero point
Procedural stops of the central drive have to take place in the "outside, top" position of
the gripper plate.
Procedural stops are
•
stops for maintenance of the part infeeds
•
stops to fix malfunctions
•
switching off, etc.
L
In emergency-off situations, the mechanics may be stopped in all positions.
The "outside, top" position of the gripper plate corresponds to the 0° angle of the hand-
ling cycle. In this position, the measuring system attached at the bottom end of the curve
is also zeroised.
The following steps are necessary to approach this position mechanically by hand:
1. Unscrew the fan flap of the motor on the central drive.
2. Apply 24 VDC to the brake coil to open the brake. Please note that in the area of the
vertical stroke the handling devices move downwards by themselves due to gravity.
Observe the safety provisions!
3. Prevent the unintended startup of the three-phase motor. Observe the safety provisi-
ons!
4. Turn the fan wheel by hand until the gripper plate is in the outside top position.
5. Mark the beginning and the end of the range on the fan wheel at which neither hori-
zontal nor vertical movement can be detected at the gripper plate.
6. Turn the fan wheel to the middle between the start and end marks.
L
This point is the mechanical zero point or also the 0° position of the mechanism.
