Functional principle
The K50 placement sensor is suitable for many mounting and component placement applications. The entire dome indicates the highly visible green job light or another signal (depending on the version). The transistor output can be easily connected to a system control which is programmed for a special task sequence. The job light of the sensor is located in or beside every container of the component placement station and signals: Detects 1. the containers with the components that have to be picked for a job and 2. the sequence in which they have to be removed. If the operator removes a part from the bin, the K50 detects the hand in the bin and sends a signal to the control unit. The system then checks if the correct component has been picked and switches – depending on the configuration – the corresponding job light off and switches on the next job light of the container which is next in the assembly sequence. The control of the working procedure leads to increased efficiency, improved quality control and reduces the rework and testing expense.
