7.1 The Separating station

Separating couples the handling functions of checking and quantity changing.
That means allocating and separating a quantity of different parts through Information acquisition (ACTUAL)
and the comparison of specified characteristics (REQUIRED), requiring defined characteristic categories.
The Separating station separates the material flow of the workpieces body (cylinder) and housing (clock,
thermometer, Microcontroller workpiece µ hygrometer).
For separating the material flow the Separating station is equipped with two conveyor belts. Depending on
the workpieces a sorting branch is switched. Controlled workpieces can be transported to the pick-up point
at the end of conveyor belt 1 or a subsequent station (0° staggered) or be sorted out onto conveyor belt 2 or
be transported to a further subsequent station (90° staggered).
The workpieces must proceed individually so as not to impair the differentiating of workpieces and the
switching functions of the branch.14
