Workpieces are inserted into the gravity feed magazine by hand. Using a transfer station workpieces are
to be transferred from a gravity feed magazine to a processing station.
The workpieces are pushed out of the gravity feed magazine by cylinder 1A and transferred to the
processing station by cylinder 2A.
The magazine is monitored by means of a optical proximity switch B5. If there are no more workpieces
in the magazine lamp H turns on and it is not possible to start the cycle.
In one cycle is transferred one workpiece.
Cycle description:
Piston rod of cylinder 1A is in retracted end position. Piston rod of cylinder 2A is in retracted end
position.
By pressing a pushbutton switch START workpiece is pushed out of the gravity feed magazine by
piston rod of cylinder 1A. Piston rod of cylinder 1A reaches the forward end position and staies in that position
4 seconds. After that, piston rod of cylinder 1A returnes to his initial position. Five seconds after the piston rod
of cylinder 1A has reached the retracted end position the piston rod of cylinder 2A is pulled out and transferred
workpiece to the processing station. When piston rod of cylinder 2A reaches the forward end position he
returns to his initial position.
The piston rod positions are monitored by means of the inductive proximity switches B1 to B4 (options
1) or magnetic proximity switches B1 to B4 ( options 2 ).
