Locating station

The locating Station is an active unit acting on a single conveyor.

The station has only one photoelectric sensor. This is detecting that the
puck has reached the gap of the rotation disc. The locating station can also
be equipped with a RFID read/write head on the locating position. The sta-
tion can be controlled either via the external bus or using only local control.

Locating unit

The rotating disc guides the puck sideways out of the conveyor into the lo-
cating position. A spring function included in the rotating disc presses the
puck towards a v-shaped block. In this position the puck is locked vertical
and can take limited vertical forces e.g. unload or load a test tube. No loads
are aloud in the X, Y-plane. Locating accuracy is ±0,2 mm.
