Pallet system with standard modules and RFID Application areas The X65 pallet system is a complete system for handling individual products on product carriers (pallets). An automated system is built on configurable standard modules. Standard modules make it very easy and fast to create simple as well as advanced layouts for routing, balancing, buffering and positioning of pallets. RFID identification in the pallets enables one piece track and trace and logistic control for the production line. Examples of application areas are transport and assembly of spark plugs, gear wheels, fuel injectors, hydraulic WK pistons, headlights, brake cylinders, cellular phones, and hard disk drives. XC Technical characteristics Pallet weight: X65 pallet, chain width 63 mm Pallet sizes (W×L×H): Maximum load on pallet: 3,0 kg (including pallet and fixture) Locating accuracy: Pallet system with standard modules and RFID

Pallet system with standard modules and RFID (continued) Divert/merge devices Combined divert/merge modules Divert/merge devices are used for routing products by dividing or combining flows of products. Usually there is a main conveyor, a “highway”, and separate subordinated conveyors, “satellites”. On the satellites, products can be subjected to various operations such as turning, grinding, assembly or testing, without disturbing the main flow. After the operations, the products can return to the highway. A combination of a highway and one or more satellites is often called a cell. Using divert/merge...

Pallets – introduction The pallet plate is equipped with a socket for an IFM RFID tag IFM read on the fly at speeds up to 30 m/min Attachment holes for fixture One optional plate under the pallet for fast loading Pallet loading The X65 pallet can be adapted to specific requirements such as • Fast indexing The centre of gravity of the product on the pallet (including fixture) must be located inside a 20 mm × 50 mm rectangle on the pallet. See figure. Easy attachment of fixtures A pallet consists of an injection molded (1) pallet base (PA66) and two (2) plastic pucks with (3) slide plates at the...

RFID components RFID tag Read/write head The RFID tag can be read reliably at speeds up to 30 m/min. The tag has an M5 grub screw like design and is mounted in a plastic holder. The read/write heads exchange data with the passive RFID tags at a maximum distance of 20 mm. The read/write head has an M12 connector. The M12 cable is connected to an M12 ASi socket. Up to 31 read/write heads can be connected to one ASi system.

Locating module – introduction PO Principles of operation The Locating station for the X65 pallet system are used for positioning of pallets. The pallets are stopped by a pneumatically controlled stop device near the desired position. A proximity switch is used to indicate that a pallet is in the locating station. A locating cross wedge is activated to one side of the pallet lifting the pallet against a V-ruler on the opposite side of the pallet. The locating accuracy is within +/-0,1 mm. Locating module Locating modules are components for positioning pallets in preparation for operations such...

Diverting and merging modules – introduction Common information Divert and merge modules For safety reasons, the pallet stop is blocking the flow in case of a pressure drop, preventing pallets from travelling uncontrolled along the conveyor. A combined divert/merge device is used to guide XKP selected pallets from a main conveyor (highway) into a satellite conveyor and back. The combination also permits recirculating the pallets on the satellite until the pal- X180 let is ready to return to the highway. Divert modules Divert modules are used to guide selected pallets from one conveyor to another....
