FLEXIBLE ASSEMBLY SYSTEM FAS200
User Manual for FAS200 - 42 -
This operation begins when the pallet is positioned opposite the module, held in
a determined location by a stopper on the linear transfer, and when the PLC of
the fifth module sends the signal “end cycle” to the PLC of this sixth module.
INTEGRAL PARTS
The sixth module, like the others, may be divided into a series of manipulators.
Each sub-division has been made by considering it as a set of components
which performs a specific operation within the whole process carried out at the
module.
•
Insertion / extraction of assembly:
The first operation consists of moving
the body with the bearing inside it from
the pallet retained at the linear transfer
to an unloading point inside the module.
This handling, and the reverse process
of unloading following pressing, are
performed by a pneumatic rotary
actuator.
Figure 46: Insertion/extraction of assembly
This actuator incorporates an arm with a set of four suction cups at its end,
whose job is to hold the part by means of an internal vacuum generated by an
ejector. To keep the body permanently horizontal throughout the turning
movement, this arm incorporates a pinion and toothed belt mechanism similar
to that used at the bearing insertion station.
•
Feeder/Extractor of the press:
The body to be fed in to the press is deposited on a platform (of this sixth
module) fitted with two double-acting pneumatic cylinders. The first one (in the
sixth module) effects the transfer from the loading/unloading point to the
press, while the second one (in this fifth module) carries out the reverse
operation following the pressing operation.
