The drilling application module can be mounted on both CP Factory basic modules and CP Lab pallet transfer systems. The drilling application module is designed for handling cube-shaped workpieces. If a workpiece is to be drilled, the dual drill head is moved to the desired position (left or right) by means of a pneumatic linear drive and the drill head is fed in the feed direction by means of a pneumatic Z-axis. This enables 2 (simulated) pairs of holes to be drilled into a workpiece. All sensors and actuators are mounted on an I/O terminal, which can optionally be exchanged for fieldbus nodes (Profinet I/O).
Only for iDrilling:
All sensors and actuators are mounted on an integrated controller with web interface and Ethernet interface. This turns the module into an intelligent module with CPS functionality.
