Kongsberg X-series
1 - Gantry
The Gantry is the entire horizontal moving assembly.
The Carriage Beam moves vertically up and down within the Gantry.
2 - Carriage Beam
The carriage beam is the vertical moving beam that carries the suction cup arms.
3 - Suction Cup Arms
The suction cup arms are attached to the carriage beam and can be adjusted horizontally across the
carriage beam.
The suction cups can be adjusted horizontally on the suction cup arms.
4 - Suction Cup Compensators
The suction cup compensators carry the suction cups and have approximately 100mm of vertical
travel.
The compensators allow all of the suction cups to come in contact with the surface of the top board
even on warped boards or uneven stacks of boards.
5 - Plunger Sensor
The plunger sensor is a proximity switch that detects a target disk on the moving compensator. The
target disk moves up when the suction cup contacts the top board on the stack. This is the method
used to determine the height of the stack of boards and the top surface of the support table.
6 - Support Table
The i-BF picks the top board off of the stack and transfers the board onto the support table.
7 - Support Table Roller
