Checking part presence and end position in the loading plate

At the end of the singulation conveyor, a loading pallet serves as a transfer station to the handling robot. The robot's insertion and removal gripper requires a trigger signal to pick the parts out of the loading pallet. The WLL180T fiber-optic sensor is able to monitor the presence of the parts in the loading pallet, even where space is severely limited. There, the MZ2Q magnetic cylinder sensor monitors the pneumatic short stroke cylinder, which raises the parts for their removal from the pallet. This sensor has two switching points, which means that one unit is enough to monitor both of the cylinder's end positions.
