1. Notes on safety

In the interests of your own safety, please observe the following safety instructions:

General • Trainees must only work on a station under the supervision of an instructor. • Observe the data in the data sheets for the individual components, particularly

all safety instructions!

Electrical • Electrical connections are to be wired-up or disconnected only when the power

supply is turned off! • Use only extra-low-voltages of up to max. 24 V DC.

Pneumatic • Do not exceed the maximum permissible pressure of 8 bar (800 kPa). • Do not switch on the compressed air supply until you have established and

secured all tubing connections. • Do not disconnect air lines under pressure. • Particular care is to be taken when switching on the compressed air supply.

Cylinders may advance or retract as the compressed air is switched on.

Robotic system • Do not touch any moving part of the robot during operation. Any work within the

operation space must be done after switching off the power. • Do not store a teaching box not connected to the robot control close to the robot

because the built-in EMERGENCY-STOP device is not functional. • If the gripper contains a part during an EMERGENCY-STOP, this will be dropped

during the reset function (nest travel).

Mechanical • Attach all components securely on the mounting plate. • No manual intervention is to take place unless the machine is at rest.


2. Short description

View of Assembly station

The Assembly station works together with the Robot station.

It supplies the components of the cylinder for the assembly process:

• A double-acting cylinder pushes the cylinder caps out of the cover magazine. • The pistons are available on a pallet. • A double-acting cylinder pushes the springs out of a slim magazine.

The following parts are assembled and fitted by an industrial robot:

• basic body, • piston, • spring and • cover.

Thanks to the use of different basic bodies, it is possible to produce short-stroke cylinders of different piston diameters.


Short description

The purpose of the Assembly station is

• to supply workpieces to the Robot station

The Assembly station consists of the following:

• Spring magazine module • Slide module • Cover magazine module • Pallet module • Profile plate

• Trolley • Control panel • PLC board
