1a. Cans packing system

Observing and analyzing the functioning of the cans packing system, i conclude that,
first, in the start of the process, over the straight over conveyor the cans are scrolling
until these are stops with a stop cylinder when the cans are assigned in a group of four
cans. Then, in the system is activates the lifting slide to fix the cans with the suction
cup, after these are positioned in the way off the semi-rotary drive turns, and these part
of system is scrolls through the rodless linear unit, then the cans are positions, joined
and finally are realeased in the packaging material. After, the packaging material scrolls
through selectioned conveyor belt until this is put on driver.
Between the sectioned conveyor belt, there is a feed pawl that is responsible for moving
the conveyor in one direction, making it impossible that the conveyor moves in the
opposite direction.

b. Pieces transfering system

In this system at the start of the process, the workpieces are scrolling over a conveyor,
in the way of an angle gripper, which is supported by a stand and also is connected with
a rotary unit, fill the workpiece and then, the rotary unit tilts in order to scrolls the
workpiece to another conveyor belt. This action is done by the lifting slide that is
supported by a rodless linear unit.
After the work piece was scrolled, these are realeased over a conveyor belt, in order to
the conveyor scrolls each one, until finally these are introduced in a manufacturing
method

2a. Testing plate system

I think, that the functioning of this system, starts when the workpieces scrolls over a
conveyor belt, until a CCD camera with image processing software, verifies the work
piece, if the piece is defective, the conveyor must done the outward transfer of defective
pieces, else, a parallel jaw gripper, that is supported by a verticaly lifting unit, celvis foot
mounting and rotary unit, fix the work piece and then, the rotary unit turns and deliver
the work piece in the way of the parallel jaw gripper realease the pieces in a tidy storage
mode over of a lifting arm.
After, the pieces are assigned within a set of magazine rod, and cataloged as
“workpiece stack with tested good”, in order to a level sensor verifies again the pieces,
and if all correct with these, the lifting arm that is supported by a spindle liting unit,
positioned the workpieces.

b. Testing plate system

In the beginning of the process, the workpieces are scrolled by a indexed chain conveyor until a tampon
plunger is positioned and fill the stencil, and put the stencil in the work piece, in the way of these is
modified it shape, then, the workpiece is turned by a gripper and it respective swivel unit, that is
supported over an adapter plate and a lifting unit. And finally the piece is realeased and positioned.
