9 Function

The programming station transports and programs the EasyKit workpiece attachment. The conveyor module
transports the workpiece attachment to the programming module's loading position.
The module's control unit works through the sequence of loading, aligning, programming and ejecting the
workpiece attachment. The control unit can save up to 7 different programs for the EasyKit. The module's
control unit can be controlled via the integrated touch panel or an external PLC.
The programmed EasyKit is transported to the end of the conveyor.
Alignment of the workpiece is detected by a capacitive proximity sensor. Optical proximity sensors with
fiber-optic cables are used to verify that workpieces are present upstream from the feed separator and at
the end of the conveyor.
