3 Functions
3.1 Function description
Locating modules are components for positioning pallets in preparation for
operations such as assembly, machining or testing.
The pallets are stopped by a pneumatically controlled stop device near the
desired position. A proximity switch is used to indicate that a pallet is in the
locating station. A locating cross wedge is activated to one side of the pallet
lifting the pallet against a V-ruler on the opposite side of the pallet. The locating accuracy is within +/-0,1 mm.
The location module is delivered complete with conveyor beam, guide rails
and guide rail brackets for M12 sensors, for installation into a conveyor line.
The sensor for pallet in locating position is always included but other sensors, supports and RFID readers are optional.
Functions
Excluded parts:
• Chain
• Slide rails for chain and guide rails
• Tubes for pneumatic circuit
• Pallets
• Cables (for sensors and RFID r/w head)
The locating station is divided into Pre-stop position and Process position.
Pre-stop position
At the pre-stop position pallets are stopped if the process position is occupied. The RFID-reader at the pre-stop can by identifying the pallets increase the efficiency by letting those with an other destination pass quickly .
Process position
The process position receives one pallet at the time from the pre-stop. If the
pallet should be processed, it is caught by the integrated stop. Once it is
located the process will start.

Principle of operation
Straight passing through
A pallet is approaching. The pallet activates sensor B1 which actuates stop
A1 which stops the pallet if function area is occupied. Sensor B2 supervise
the locating area. If the sensor gives low signal the area is empty.
Function occupied
Before a pallet is let into the function area the locating station must be empty and open. Example: Pallet enters module. Stop A1 blocks the flow , then
waits until B2 does not detect a pallet and B4 detects that locating station
is open. Then pallet is released by stop A1.
Sensors
The primary function of sensor B2 (in position) is to detect pallet placed in
a specific position. The sensor is placed so it can actuate stop (open/blocking) before the pallet reaches the function area. Maximum conveyor speed
is 20 m/min.
RFID
8050183
Created by EBCCW 00:06
The RFID head B5 is used for reading/writing RFID tag data on pallets. The
data holds information whether a pallet should be processed or not.

3.2 Cylinder details
Cylinder A1 "Pre-stop"
Type: Single acting
Function:
• Pressurized: Releases the pallet flow
• No pressure: Blocks the pallet flow
For safety reasons, the pallet stop is blocking the
flow in case of a pressure drop, preventing pallets
from travelling uncontrolled along the conveyor.
The stop should not re-block the flow while a pallet
puck is in a position where it could be clamped.
Functions
It is recommended to re-block the flow after each
pallet.
Cylinder A2 "Stop"
Type: Single acting
Function:
• Pressurized: Releases the pallet flow
• No pressure: Blocks the pallet flow
For safety reasons, the pallet stop is blocking the
flow in case of a pressure drop, preventing pallets
from travelling uncontrolled along the conveyor.
Cylinder A3 "Locating"
Type: Double acting
Function: Locates the pallet
12
8050183
3.3 Sensor details
Sensor B1 "Pre-stop"
Type: Proximity switch, inductive
Position: Placed together with Pre-stop.
Function: Detects the initiator plate of the pallet
before the pallet is stopped and stays active until
the pallet leaves the stop.
The reason why the pallet is detected by the
sensor before the pallet hits the stop, is to
enhance the efficiency of the pallet flow. As the
pallet is detected in advance, the controller has
time to take a decision whether or not the pallet
should be stopped. If it should pass, the stop
changes state to ”Release flow” before the pallet
reaches it.
Functions
Sensor B2 "In position"
Type: Proximity switch, inductive.
Function: Detects the pallet initiator plate when the
pallet is stopped in the process position.
Sensor B3 and B4 "Locating up/down"
Type: Proximity switch, inductive
Function: Activated then the pallet is located/
released.

4.1 Preparation
This section describes the steps that are required for unloading the modules for the X65 system. It is recommended to make use of the devices described. When using this or another device this device is expected to be
provided with a quality mark.
. Note! The operations concerned are to be carried out calmly in
order to be able to carefully monitor any movement of the X65
module.
Before starting the unloading a good preparation is required. The appropriate devices must be available. Apart from that the first transport check is
an important part of the unloading, as in case of damage this should be
mentioned on the delivery note in relation to guarantee and the like.
After arrival of the modules a transport check is to be carried out. The check
can be carried out at the moment the module has been unloaded from the
container or the truck. The technical specification gives the dimensions to
be checked. Is the module delivered undamaged and is it the correct module?

Put out of commission
6 Put out of commission
At the moment a module is put out of operation for some reason, a number
of steps are to be taken in order to avoid dangerous situations. This section
clearly indicates how one should proceed in a number of cases with respect to uncoupling, dismounting, transport and reuse of materials coming
from the elevator
6.1 Disconnect the power sources
Prior to starting the dismounting, the voltage is to be cut off from the power
source. First the main switch is to be switched off before the power source
can be disconnected.
. Danger: First switch off the main switch before the power source
may be disconnected.
6.2 Disassemble
While dismounting the machine, the regulations for waste processing applicable on the place and at the time of the dismantling are to be complied
with. The machine only contains commonly known materials. At the time of
assembling the module there were processing possibilities for this and no
particular risks were known for persons involved in dismantling. The disassembly of the module generally requires few operations. The module can
be disposed of in the same way as it was delivered.
. Note! At the time of assembling the modules there were
processing possibilities for this and no particular risks were
known for persons involved in dismantling.
Dust, dirt and liquids can accumulate in different cavities in the
module. Use appropriate personal protection during disassembly .
6.3 Reuse
No fixed rules have been made up for reuse of the modules, because the
module does not contain any hazardous substances. At the time of assembling the module there were processing possibilities for this and no particular risks were known for persons involved in the reuse.
. Note! Putting the module out of operation with all operations
involved may only be done by technically qualified personnel.
