4-20 Operation
Conveyor Operation
The conveyor transports each part into and out of the dispensing system on two narrow
conveyor belts. The conveyor has two zones—the Pre-dispense Zone and Dispense Zone.
An optical sensor detects the part as it arrives in a zone, then stop pins rise to stop the part
in the correct position. When the part stops in the dispense zone, bar clamps rise to secure
the part in place while fluid dispenses onto the part. After dispensing is finished, the stop
pins and clamps are lowered, and the conveyor moves the part downstream.
Figure 4-7 shows the two conveyor zones. Figure 4-8 shows the main features of the
conveyor.
