damage has been caused intentionally or due to gross negligence by Festo Didactic.
1.7 This system has been developed and produced exclusively for vocational and further
Intended use training in the field of automation and technology. The training authority and/or the
instructors is/are to ensure that trainees observe the safety precautions described
in the manual provided.
The use of the system for its intended purpose also includes:
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.
Mechanics
• Securely mount all components on the plate.
• No manual intervention unless the machine is at rest.
Drilling machine
• The drilling machine is operational. Therefore, stay at a safe distance from the
rotating spindle!
• The polishing process is merely simulated for reasons of safety.

Transport
The MPS is delivered in a container with a pallet base.
The container must be transported on a suitable fork lift truck at all times and must
be secured against tipping or falling off.
The carrier and Festo Didactic are to be notified immediately of any damage caused
during transport.
Unpacking
Carefully remove the padding material in the container box when unpacking the
station. When unpacking the station, make sure that none of the station assemblies
have been damaged.
Check the station for any possible damaged once unpacked. The carrier and Festo
Didactic are to be notified immediately of any damage.
Scope of delivery
Check the scope of delivery against the delivery note and the order. Festo Didactic
must be notified immediately of any discrepancies.
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.
• Trolley
• Control console
• PLC board
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.
Note
The station uses exclusively electrical actuators.
Initial position
Sequence
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.
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.
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.
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.

Note
If stations are combined changes of the mechanical set-up and the position and
setting of sensors may be necessary.
All components, tubing and wiring is clearly marked so that all connections can be
easily re-established.

6.3 6.3.1 Capacitive proximity sensor (Rotary indexing table, detection of workpiece)
Adjust sensors
The capacitive proximity sensor is used for detection of workpieces. The workpiece
changes the capacity of a capacitor build in the sensor head. Workpieces are
detected independent of colour and material.
Note
Capacitive proximity sensors are used in the positions material input, testing and
drilling.
