The conveyor module
The conveyor module can be mounted on a profile
plate, a profile foot or a slotted mounting plate. The
DC motor is freely positionable. The conveyor module
is suitable for transporting workpieces with a
diameter of 40 mm (e.g. “Basic bodies” or “Cylinder
for assembly” workpiece sets).
The module is supplied fully assembled. The attached motor controller permits clockwise and
counterclockwise rotation.
The conveyor module is used for transporting and buffering the workpieces. The presence of workpieces at
the start and end of the conveyor is verified by optical proximity switches with fiber-optic cables.
The conveyor belt is driven by a DC gear motor.

Function
The Distributing station Pro separates workpieces that are located in the magazine tubes of the stacking
magazines. A double-acting cylinder pushes the workpieces out one at a time. The conveyor module
transports the workpiece to the right or left to the end of the conveyor. Each stacking magazine module can
be equipped with different workpieces. The magazines can be activated or deactivated during operation. If
several magazines are active at the same time, one workpiece is pushed out of each magazine one after the
other. This takes place from left to right.
