X85 Pallet

Function description

The Index station is divided into Pre-stop position and
Process position.

Pre-stop position
The Pre-stop position is relieving the Process position of

the queue-pressure. The RFID-reader of the Pre-stop
identifies the pallet, affecting the ef fi cie ncy as pallets with
other destination quickly pass the Process position.

Process position
The Process position receives one pallet at a time from

the Pre-stop.
If the pallet should be processed, it is caught by the
integrated stop. Thereafter it is located and process is
allowed to start for the first index position.
When processing is finished for the first index position, the
pallet is unlocked simultaneously as the integrated stop is
releasing the flow downstream.
The index sensor detects the next index position (index
position 2) and triggers the index motion to stop th e pa ll e t.
The pallet is located in the second index position, the
index motion is disactivated and processing is allowed to
start for second index position.
When processing is finished, the pallet it unlocated.

Position 2 2,2 1,3 1,2

Notes:

The station is not equipped with any downstream
maxqueue sensor as the design is only possible with
an overview of the line as a whole.

The sensor configuration is depending on the size of
pallet. Mixed flow with reference to pallet length is not
possible.

Cylinder details

Cylinder A1 ”Pre-stop”
Type: Single acting
Function:

Pressurized: Releases the pallet flow
No pressure: Blocks the pallet flow

For security 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.

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

Cylinder A1 ”Pre-stop”

For security 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.

Cylinder A4 ”Index”
Type: Double acting

Function:Index the pallet.
There is no sensor attatch to the ”index” cylinder

Note 1: It is recommended that flow control valves are
used, for example Festo GR-QS-6 (193969).

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 enchance 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 if should
pass, the stop change state to ”Release flow” before the
pallet reach it.

Sensor B2 ”In position”
Type: Proximity switch, inductive. Model depends on

pallet length.

Sensor B1 ”Pre-stop”

Position: Depends on pallet length.

125: Inside process position, left side
175/225: Before process position, right side

Function: Detects the pallet initiator plate when the pallet
is stopped in the process position.
