FLEXIBLE ASSEMBLY SYSTEM FAS200
User Manual for FAS200 - 72 -
In contrast with preceding modules, where communication between the slave
modules and the master was limited to sending start messages and end of
cycle indications, here there is a greater need for coordination between the
units. As a result, more use is made of the possibilities offered by the PLC
network for information exchange between the different modules.
FUNCTION OF THE MODULE:
This twelfth module is complementary to
previous one. This module inserts the
screws into the holes of the body placed
on the pallet, after feeding and transfer
by the previous module.
Figure 76: Manipulators of the twelfth module.
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 eleventh module sends the signal “end cycle” to the PLC of this twelfth
module.
INTEGRAL PARTS
The twelfth 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.
