The Conveyor Module 1 - Festo MPS 8038802 Manual Del Usario

7.2 The Conveyor module 1

The module is supplied completely assembled. The attached motor controller permits clockwise and
anticlockwise rotation.
The Conveyor module is used to transport and buffer workpieces. Optical proximity switches with fibre-optic
cables are used to check that workpieces are present at the beginning of the conveyor, upstream from the
feed separator, and at the end of the conveyor.
The conveyor belt is driven by a DC gear motor.
The workpieces can be stopped and separated by an attached electromagnet (solenoid) with separator.
