5. Design and function

5.1
The Processing station

Processing is a generic term for production steps such as forming, form change,
machining and joining. According to VDI 2860, forming is the creation of
geometrically determined bodies made of formless substances. Form change is the
changing of geometrical shapes and/or the dimensions of bodies. Machining is the
changing of material characteristics and/or surface finish of bodies. Joining is the
permanent joining of several bodies.

The function of the Processing station is

• To check the characteristics of workpieces (correctly positioned, hole)


• To machine workpieces and
• To supply workpieces to a subsequent station

© Festo Didactic GmbH & Co. KG • 648813 55


Design and function

The Processing station consists of the following


• Rotary indexing table module
• Testing module
• Drilling module
• Clamping module
• Sorting gate module, electrical
• Profile plate

• Trolley
• Control console
• PLC board

Processing station with trolley, control console and PLC board

56 © Festo Didactic GmbH & Co. KG • 648813


Design and function

5.2 In the processing station, workpieces are tested and processed on a rotary indexing
Function table. The rotary indexing table is driven by a DC motor. The table is positioned by a
relay circuit, with the position of the table being detected by an inductive sensor.

On the rotary indexing table, the workpieces are tested and drilled in two parallel
processes. A solenoid actuator with an inductive sensor checks that the workpieces
are inserted in the correct position. During drilling, the workpiece is clamped by a
solenoid actuator.

Finished workpieces are passed on via the electrical ejector.

Note
The station uses exclusively electrical actuators.

5.3 Starting prerequisites


Sequence description
• Workpiece is in the workpiece retainer material input

Initial position

• Rotary indexing table positioned


• Checking solenoid plunger raised
• Drilling machine in raised position
• Drilling machine motor is switched off
• Clamping device retracted
• Electrical branch not actuated

© Festo Didactic GmbH & Co. KG • 648813 57


Design and function

Sequence

1. The rotary indexing table is rotated by 60°, if a workpiece is detected in the


workpiece retainer 1 and the START pushbutton is pressed.
2. The solenoid plunger moves downwards and checks whether the workpiece is
inserted with the opening facing upwards. The rotary indexing table is rotated by
60° if the result of the check is OK.
3. The clamping device clamps the workpiece. The motor of the drilling machine is
switched on. The linear axis moves the drilling machine downwards.
4. When the drilling machine has reached its lower position, it is moved to its upper
stop again by the linear axis.
5. The motor of the drilling machine is switched off and the clamping device is
retracted. The rotary indexing table is rotated by 60°.
6. The electrical sorting gate passes on the workpiece to a subsequent station.

This sequence describes the passage of one workpiece through the Processing
station. The workpiece is in the transfer position to a downstream station. The
processing cycle can be started again, once a workpiece is inserted in the workpiece
retainer 1.

Design and function

5.4
Rotary indexing table
module

The drive of the Rotary indexing table module is operated by a DC gear motor. The 6
rotating plate positions are defined by the positioning screws on the rotary table and
sensed by means of an inductive sensor.

Each of the 6 semi-circular workpiece retainers of the plate is provided with hole in
the centre to facilitate sensing by means of a capacitive proximity sensor.

© Festo Didactic GmbH & Co. KG • 648813 59


Design and function

5.5
Testing module

An inserted workpiece is checked for correct positioning. If the hole points upwards,
then the armature of the testing solenoid reaches its end position.

An inductive proximity sensor is actuated via a nut at the upper end of the armature.

60 © Festo Didactic GmbH & Co. KG • 648813


Design and function

5.6
Drilling module

The Drilling module is used to simulate the polishing of the hole of the workpiece.

An electrical clamping device retains the workpiece. The feed and return actions of
the drilling machine are effected by means of a linear axis with toothed belt drive. An
electrical gear motor drives the linear axis and a relay circuit is used to activate the
motor.

The motor of the drilling machine is operated via 24 V DC and the speed is not
adjustable.

The end position sensing is effected by means of electrical limit switches.


Approaching of the limit switches causes a reversal of the direction of movement of
the linear axis.

Commissioning

6.9 6.9.1 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 Distribution station, only the StationLink receiver is mounted and
on the Sorting station only the StationLink transmitter.
