The Stacking Magazine Module - Festo MPS 8034566 Manual De Instrucciones

7.2 The Stacking magazine module

The speed at which the ejector cylinder advances and retracts can be infinitely adjusted via one-way flow
control valves.
A double-acting cylinder pushes the workpiece at the bottom out of the gravity-fed magazine against an
external stop and positions it in the fixture. An opto-electronic sensor can be mounted on this fixture and
used to detect the caps or the workpieces. This position is the transfer point to the next module.
By supplementing the module with a base, its height can be adjusted so that it can be attached directly to,
for example, a conveyor module.

The Stacking magazine module separates workpieces
from a magazine. Up to 7 workpieces can be stacked
in the magazine tube in any order. Up to 17 workpiece
caps can be separated by turning the tube.
A light barrier underneath the magazine tube checks
to determine whether or not the magazine is empty.
An opto-electronic sensor can optionally be screwed
into the base, which detects the caps and the
workpieces. The position of the ejector cylinder is
scanned electrically by proximity sensors.
