coordinated with us. Injury of persons due to subsequent damage.
Impermissible modifications
Impermissible modifications can lead to subsequent damage with risk of injury. Modifica-
tions on the machine are prohibited. Injury of persons due to subsequent damage.
Electric shock
Power and control connections may still conduct electricity after the machine has been
deactivated and is stationary. Energised capacitors inside the servo drive may still be
charged, despite the power supply being deactivated. Work on electrical equipment
should only be realised by skilled electrical personnel and under observance of specifica-
tions in the electrical operating manual. Electrical connections for the machine should
onlybeloosenedorpluggedinwhenthe powersupplyisdeactivatedandsecuredagainst
reactivation. The status of capacitor charging should be measured prior to working on
machine electrical equipment. The procedure for measuring charges is described in the
electrical operating manual. Touching energised components can lead to serious or even
fatal injuries.
Squeezing or pulling in
There are components on the module that carry out rotating and linear movement at high
speeds and great dynamics. Implementing suitable protection measures is imperative for
the safe operation of the module. Implementing these protection measures is the respon-
sibility of the vendor of the machine into which the module was built. Commissioning and
operating the module without safety equipment is prohibited. Risk of severe injuries and
death due to moving module parts.

3.2 Function
3
3.2 Function
3.2.1 Complete module
The kinematics converts the rotation of a double curve driven by the central drive and
creates the horizontal and vertical movements of the handling modules.
A three-phase motor with attached closed-circuit brake (braked without voltage) drives
the double curve via a toothed belt segment and reduction gear.
The direction of rotation of the three-phase motor has to be clockwise
because the double curve is not symmetrical.
The rotating device on the PM1100 is a rotary indexing table and on the PM1500 it is a
ring rotary indexing table.
The motors of the central drive and the rotating device are synchronised electrically by a
position encoder placed on the control cam of the central drive.
The plate or the ring of the rotating device should cycle with the shortest possible switch
time (see combination indexing, moment of inertia and switch time in the brochure "Elec-
tro mechanical rotary indexing tables type TC-T" or "Ring rotary indexing tables TR").
The speed of the central drive can be adapted to the slowest part infeed.
The ratio short cycle time to long standstill time has the advantage that more time is
available for time intensive operations such as mounting, screwing or checking with the
same cycle time.
The insertion movements can be smooth and harmonic however, and ideally run without
stop.
If procedural stops due to faults become necessary, then the handling modules have to
be stopped in initial position (outside top).
3.2.2 Lift module
The lift module is intended to place a test head from above onto the part to be checked.
To avoid crash situations, this test head has to be equipped with a spring-borne follow-up
system that permits a maximum of 50 N spring force and at least 70 mm spring deflexion.
The lift module operates in parallel with the horizontal stroke of the insertion module.
The downwards movement of the lift module is done synchronously to the inward drive of
the insertion module.
This function mode is independent of the frame size.
The maximum mass to be moved is 1.5 kg.
Stroke dependencies, see chapter 3.5.6 „Strokes“ on page 15
3.2.3 Press module
The press module is intended to place a press head from above onto the part to be pres-
sed. To avoid crash situations, this press head has to be equipped with a spring-borne
follow-up system that permits a maximum of 300 N spring force and at least 51 mm
spring deflexion.
The press module operates in parallel with the horizontal stroke of the insertion module.
The downwards movement of the press module is done synchronously to the insertion
module.
This function mode is independent of the frame size.
The maximum pressing force is 200 N.
Stroke dependencies, see chapter 3.5.6 „Strokes“ on page 15

3.3 Movement sequence
3
3.3 Movement sequence
To control the Pick-o-Mat, all other switch and query points such as "start rotary indexing
table", "gripper open", "gripper closed", "query round table in pos." need to be controlled
in coordination with the insertion movements.
The position of the handling modules is signalled by a position encoder on the control
cam. Depending on the encoder type (absolute or incremental), absolute values (angle)
or increments are provided that need to be processed further by the controller.
The speed of the central drive is determined by the gear stage. The fine adjustment of
the number of cycles is determined by the frequency converter.
To control the gripper pneumatics, it is necessary to switch the pneumatic valves already
before the bottom dead centre because the dead time of the mechanism is too great at
the bottom compared to the dwell time. We recommend employing an absolute (stan-
dard) or incremental rotary encoder.
Figure 3 on page 13 displays the angle-time ratios at the central drive. The rotary inde-
xing table should be started at A. A query should be made at B whether the rotation is
ended. In case of a negative feedback, the central drive has to be stopped at about C to
stop the handling modules at D.
* Before the BACK position is reached, the central drive has to be stopped to avoid colli-
sions.

3.4 Crash safety
During transport and joining of parts, crash situations may occur when the grippers are
lowered. These are secured by a spring mechanism at the drive point of the levers for the
vertical stroke.
The lever can lift off the lift plate if a specified mating force is exceeded.
This lifting off is detected by inductive proximity sensors and signalled as an error by the
customer's controller.

4.1 Appliances and auxiliary equipment approved for transportation
4.1.1 Transporting of the packed machine
Falling packaging unit.
The hoisting cables can slip if they are not fitted correctly. The package unit can tilt, slip
out of the slings and fall.
Only lifting equipment with crossbeam trusses should be used. The lifting slings should
be fitted outside the supporting timbers. A falling package unit can cause severe to fatal
injuries.

WARNING
Falling or sagging loads can lead to grievous injuries. Inadequately dimensioned
load bearing equipment can break. Transport vehicles not designed to support the
weight of the machine may fail or topple over.
Lifting devices, conveyor vehicles (pallet trucks) and load carrying equipment should
conform to regulations and be designed to support the weight of the machine including
packaging. It is forbidden to stand or be present under suspended or lifted loads. A falling
or toppling machine can cause grievous or fatal injuries.

4.1.2 Transporting of the unpacked machine
Risk of injury emanating from falling machine.
Shackles need to be used for transporting the unpacked machine. The shackles are
screwed onto the standing middle part. The hoisting cables can be fastened to the eyes
of the shackles.
A packaging insert provides information on the position of the permissible thread and the
dimensions of the bolts.
LThe three covering screws need to be removed beforehand so that the shackles can be
fastened. The processing modules may have to be moved aside because they may be
partially covering the threads.

tents of the delivery should be checked for damage if damage to the packaging is detec-
ted which could indicate damage to the contents. Details of the scope of delivery are
provided in Chapter 3.5.3.
Detected damage should be immediately reported to the transportion company and con-
firmed.
