"ConveyorTech" enables the robot to synchronize its program execution (movements, logic and I/O handling) with an externally controlled conveyor. The robot can interact with two conveyors, each of them may have a linear or a circular form. The robot can follow only one conveyor at a time, but it can keep track of both conveyors. With the aid of an incremental encoder and a Conveyor Counter Module the position of the work piece on the conveyor is determined and followed by the robot. The counter is connected to the controller via CAN bus. For referencing and triggering, a synchronization switch, e.g. a light barrier, is necessary.
 | Range of application |
|
- to do all kinds of processing work on pieces on a running conveyor,
- to transfer work pieces from one to another,
- to remove work pieces from a for further local processing,
- to position work pieces on a running after local processing,
- etc.
