Precision Locator Operation
The precision locator option provides a small pneumatic fixture for precisely locating and
securing a puck at a process station.
Setup
Install the precision locator as described in Precision Locator Installation on page 296 and
Teach the Precision Locator Position on page 301.
Basic Operation
The host controller controls operation of the precision locator. There is no link between the
precision locator and the node controllers in the transport system. The typical sequence for
operation is:
1. Command the puck with the pallet mounted on it to the locator position.
2. Command the precision locator to close, which locates and secures the pallet.
NOTE: Actuation from arm up to arm down must be no less than 100 ms. The flow
controls on the user-supplied pneumatic valve for the locator can be adjusted
to set the movement speed.
3. Release the vehicle to allow the locator to position it precisely.
4. Perform the appropriate action to the load mounted on the pallet.
5. Command the precision locator to open.
6. Command the vehicle to its next location.
Operation Using Cylinder Position Sensors
The host controller controls operation of the precision locator. There is no link between the
precision locator and the node controllers in the transport system. The typical sequence for
operation is:
1. Command the puck with the pallet mounted on it to the locator position.
2. Command the precision locator to close, which locates and secures the pallet.
NOTE: Actuation from arm up to arm down must be no less than 100 ms. The flow
controls on the user-supplied pneumatic valve for the locator can be adjusted
to set the movement speed.
