Task #1: Assembly, commissioning and programming
of Distribution Station
Points 400
t min fastest team
t max 180 min
Situation
Your task is to assemble, commission and program the
Distribution station.
The task is fulfilled when the station is completely

assembled and commissioned according to the professional
practice agreement. The system has to fulfill the
specifications according to the evaluation sheet.
Task Description
Different workpieces (red, silver or black) are manually

put into the stack magazine.
The parts are ejected from the magazine, picked up by the

swing arm and then deposited to the right of the station.
The cycle continues until the stack is empty, at which

point operation stops and the LED in the start button and
the lamp Q1 are illuminated.
It is necessary to reload the stack magazine and press the

start button again before the machine starts up and cycle
resumes.
PLC program:
Initial situation:
No workpieces are on the station
On power up, LED in reset button is “on”

Press reset to reset machine. Part ejector cylinder is
extended, rotary arm is to the right and vacuum is off.
If successful, LED in reset button goes “off” and green

start button is lit up.

Task #2: Integrating a Pick and Place Station to
the Distribution Station for workpiece transfer
Points 500
t min fastest team
t max 180 min
Situation
Your task is to add a partially assembled pick and place
station so that a workpiece from the distribution station
will be placed on the stage and the pick and place station
will move the part from one stage to the other.
The task is fulfilled when the station is completely

assembled and commissioned according to the professional
practice agreement. The system has to fulfil the
specifications according to the evaluation sheet.
Collisions are not allowed and will be heavily penalized.
Task Description
Three pieces are placed in the stack magazine of the

Distribution station. The station will place the parts onto
the stage of the pick and place station. The pick and place
station will move each individual part from the outer stage
to the inner stage.
The operator will remove the part from the second stage.
The distribution station must wait for the pick and place
station to finish processing a part before another part can
be introduced.
When the stack is empty, Q1 on the front of the panel must

come on.
PLC program:
Initial situation:
A number (3) of workpieces are in the stack.

Max time: 150 min.

1. Notes on safety
In the interests of your own safety, please observe the following safety instructions:
General
• Trainees must only work on a station under the supervision of an instructor.
• Observe the data in the data sheets for the individual components, particularly
all safety instructions!
Electrical
• Electrical connections are to be wired-up or disconnected only when the power
supply is turned off!
• Use only extra-low-voltages of up to max. 24 V DC.
Pneumatic
• Do not exceed the maximum permissible pressure of 8 bar (800 kPa).
• Do not switch on the compressed air supply until you have established and
secured all tubing connections.
• Do not disconnect air lines under pressure.
• Particular care is to be taken when switching on the compressed air supply.
Cylinders may advance or retract as the compressed air is switched on.
Mechanical
• Attach all components securely on the mounting plate.
• No manual intervention is to take place unless the machine is at rest.

2. Short description
View of the Distribution station
The Distribution station is a feed device. According to VDI 3240, feed devices are
defined as units which fulfill the function of bunkering, sorting and feeding of
components. In addition, feed devices can facilitate the sorting of components
according to various sorting characteristics (shape, weight etc. of the component).
The following are feed devices:

• Magazines with feed limiting,
• Vibratory bowl feeder,
• Inclined conveyors and
• Hoppers with sorting devices.
Workpieces handled by feed devices are

• Electroplated parts,
• Shaped parts made of plastic,
• Punched parts and
• Turned components.

Short description
The function fo the Distribution station is
• to separate out workpieces from a magazine and

• to transfer workpieces by means of a rotary drive using a suction cup.
The Distribution station consists of the following:
• Stack magazine module

• Changer module
• Profile plate
• Trolley
• Control console
• PLC board
