T-320 Positioner System
T-320 Process Summary |
The operator places a stack of trays onto the input station. Upon receipt of a “start” signal from the user, the bottom tray in the stack is automatically un-stacked. A set of transport belts immediately move the tray onto a positioner station where it is clamped accurately in place in both x and y axis.
The handler then signals the user to begin processing the tray, i.e., inspecting, dispensing, etc.
When the tray has been completely processed, the user signals the handler, and the tray automatically travels to the output station, where it is stacked.
While the finished tray is being stacked, the next tray is being un-stacked and advanced onto the positioner station, and the process repeats.
Feeding trays from the bottom of the input stack allows the operator to add new trays to the system at any time without halting the process. Likewise, adding trays to the bottom of the output stack allows finished trays to be removed at any time without process interruption.

Various Positioning system configurations are available. The Positioner (processing) module could be located at either end of the system, or in the center, as shown above. Also, the positioner can have two fixed stop positions, if required, instead of a single position. |
