microswitch which sends the appropriate signal to the PLC of the second
module which in turn sends the signal “start cycle” to the PLC of this first
module.
The confirmation of the body is in correct orientation is got by a pneumatic
cylinder like a checker turning on an internal flag of the PLC, signal used by this
PLC to send the signal “body OK” to the PLC of the next module.
INTEGRAL PARTS:
The first 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.
• Body feeder:
The feeder which supplies the body is
of the gravity feed type, in that the
bodies are stored in a stack so that
when the bottom one is removed, the
next falls into place under the effect of
its own weight and that of the ones
above it.
Figure 22: Body feeder.
The body is extracted by a pneumatic cylinder which
pushes against a pusher shaped to match the profile of the
body. An inductive sensor is used to alert about lack of
bodies in the feeder.
