Description of the example

Introduction

This example is given for teaching purposes only. It will enable you to follow each phase of implementation for a TSX CSY 84 axis control module, without having to read the whole manual.

Transfer Device

A transfer device ensures that machining outputs are removed. This device is made up of a claw which can move in space on an axis (X and Y axes) parallel to the ground.

When an item appears on the removal conveyor belt A, the claw automatically locates it in order to place it on belt B or C depending on the type of item. The claw then returns to position, ready to grab as soon as a new machined item is detected.

Inputs/Outputs

The inputs/outputs are as follows:

C1	machined item detection cell
C2	identification sensor for item type
C3	claw open/closed detection sensor
C4	item edge detection cell (in the claw), connected to the connector event input
O/F	claw: claw open/close command
