Storage station
9.3 Store
The storage station detects the colors of arriving workpieces and places them into storage on one of the
6 storage levels depending on color (black, red, sliver or transparent). A sensor detects workpieces in the
holding unit and controls the remaining process steps.
Alternatively, the storage level or the storage color can be specified by means of a bit combination.
The workpieces are picked by the pneumatic gripper and, depending on color, are advanced to the
corresponding storage level by means of the planar surface gantry assembly. 8 workpieces (black, red,
silver, transparent) can be placed into storage on each level.
Alternatively, the issue level or the issue color can be specified by setting up a bit combination.
9.4 Issue
When material is requisitioned by a downstream station, workpieces (black, red, silver, transparent) are
alternately picked by the pneumatic gripper and advanced to the downstream station with the help of the
planar surface gantry.
