The model assembly disposes of the following features:
- The operations of the handling station, punching assembly and robot are synchronised
- The operation commands are entered via a control panel. Depending on the task, the “traffic light” is also controlled by the panel.
- The data exchange is performed via profibus, which includes the handshake, material flow control and material data. The stations have not been designed for stand-alone operation.
- The covers are mounted on the bodies in correspondence to their colours. Subsequently, they are sorted and placed onto the pallet.
