General
• Trainees must only work on the station under the supervision of an instructor.
• Observe the data in the data sheets for the individual components, in particular
all notes on safety!
Electrics
• Electrical connections are to be wired up or disconnected only when power is
disconnected!
• Use only low voltages of up to 24 V DC.
Pneumatics
• Do not exceed the permissible pressure of 8 bar (800 kPa).
• Do not switch on compressed until you have established and secured all tubing
connections.

5. Design and function
5.1
The Distributing station
The Distributing station is a feed device. According to VDI 3240, feed devices are
defined as units which fulfil the function of bunkering, sorting and feeding of
components. In addition, feed devices can facilitate the sorting of components
according to various sorting characteristics (shape, weight etc. of the component).
The following are feed devices:

• Magazines with feed limiting,
• Vibratory bowl feeder,
• Inclined conveyors and
• Hoppers with sorting devices.
Workpieces handled by feed devices are

• Electroplated parts,
• Shaped parts made of plastic,
• Punched parts and
• Turned components.

The function of the Distributing station is
• to separate out workpieces from a magazine and

• to transfer workpieces by means of a rotary drive using a suction cup.
The Distributing station consists of the following:
• Stack magazine module

• Changer module
• Profile plate
• Trolley
• Control console
• PLC board
Distributing station with trolley, control console and PLC board

5.2 The Distributing station separates workpieces from the Stack magazine module. The
Function magazine barrel of the stack magazine holds up to 8 workpieces. The filling level of
the stack magazine is monitored by means of a through-beam sensor. A double-
acting cylinder pushes out the workpieces individually.
The Changer module grips the separated out workpiece using a suction cup. A
vacuum switch checks whether a workpiece has been picked up. The arm of the
transfer unit, which is driven by a rotary drive, conveys the workpiece to the transfer
point of the downstream station.
5.3 Start prerequisites

Sequence description • Magazine is filled with workpieces
Initial position
• Ejecting cylinder is extended
• Rotary drive is in position “magazine”
• Vacuum is off
Sequence
1. The rotary drive swivels to the position “downstream station” if workpieces are
identified in the magazine and the START button is pressed.
2. The ejecting cylinder retracts and pushes a workpieces out of the magazine.
3. The rotary drive swivels to the position “magazine”.
4. The vacuum is switched on. When the workpiece is securely held, a vacuum
switch switches.
5. The ejecting cylinder advances and releases the workpiece.
6. The rotary drive swivels to the position “downstream station”.
7. The vacuum is switched off.
8. The rotary drive swivels to the position “magazine”.

5.4
Stack magazine module
The Stack magazine module separates workpieces from a magazine. Up to

8 workpieces can be stacked in any order in the magazine barrel. The workpieces
must be inserted with the open side facing upwards.
A double-acting cylinder pushes the lowest workpiece from the gravity-feed

magazine up to the mechanical stop. This position serves as a transfer point to the
next module (e.g. Changer module).
The available workpiece in the magazine barrel is detected by means of a through-

beam sensor. The position of the ejecting cylinder is sensed electrically via inductive
sensors. The advancing and retracting speed of the ejecting cylinder is infinitely
adjustable by means of one-way flow control valves.

5.5
Changer module
The Changer module is a pneumatic handling device. Workpieces are picked up

using a suction cup and transferred by means of a rotary drive. The swivelling range
is adjustable between 0° and 180° by means of mechanical end stops. The end
position sensing is effected by means of electrical limit switches (micro switches).
Note
The end positions of the rotary drive need to be adjusted depending on the
downstream station selected.


6. Commissioning
The stations of the MPS® are generally delivered
• completely assembled
• operationally adjusted as single station
• commissioned

Note
If stations are combined changes of the mechanical set-up and the position and
setting of sensors may be necessary.
The commissioning is normally limited to a visual check to ensure correct tubing

connections/wiring and supply of operating voltage.

6. Commissioning
6.11 6.11.1 Networking

Combination of stations
In the standard version, the MPS® stations are linked using optical sensors. This
type of linking is known as StationLink, which uses through-beam sensor
transmitters and receivers as sensors. The StationLink transmitter is mounted on the
incoming material side and the StationLink receiver on the outgoing material side.
By switching on or off the StationLink transmitter, the station signals the upstream
station whether it is ready to receive a workpiece or busy.
The sensors for linking several stations must be arranged face to face in alignment.
The linked stations must be securely interconnected by means of hammer head
screws.
Note
In the case of the Distributing station, only the StationLink receiver is mounted and
on the Sorting station only the StationLink transmitter.
6.11.2 Hardware modifications
Angle of rotation of the swivel drive
Depending on the downstream station following the Distributing station an

adjustment of the angle of rotation of the swivel drive may be necessary.
Instructions on procedure please find in the operating instructions of the Rotary
drive (235679).

at regular intervals using a soft fluff-free cloth or brush:
• The lenses of the optical sensors, the fibre-optics and reflectors

• The active surface of the proximity sensor
• The entire station
Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.
