A micro switch is provided at the bottom of the dispenser to detect the presence of the part that is ready to be picked up by the robot. Another micro switch is provided at the top of the dispenser to indicate that the dispenser is now full and no more parts should be placed in the dispenser. Four switches allow manual functions to be implemented at each of the dispensers. These dispensers do not need any power. The stands elevate the dispensers and allow them to be laced at a height suitable for the robot and other components of the workcell.
Pneumatic dispensers dispense one part at a time pneumatically.
The parts are stacked in an elevator and are pushed out one at a time from the bottom of the elevator as needed. The dispensing actuator is a pneumatic cylinder. The standard dispenser dispenses the pallets used by the various Rhino workcells. Other sizes can be ordered and will be fabricated to your specifications. A micro switch is provided at the bottom of the elevator to detect the presence of the part that is ready to be dispensed.
