Pass Table
General
The Pass Table BSR-040-PT (also known as a holding fixture), allows for the temporary holding of parts during operation.
Major Components
The Pass Table features the following components.
| Item | Description | Function |
|---|---|---|
| A | Rough Locators | Ensures parts are properly loaded onto the pass fixture. They provide a way for the robot to align and place the parts. |
| B | Inductive Sensor | Detects the presence or absence of metal objects without making physical contact with them. It works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When a metal object is brought near the sensor, it disturbs the electromagnetic field produced by the sensor, which in turn causes a change in the sensor output signal. |
| C | I/O Module | Manages the inputs and outputs of the cart's control system, sending signals between the cart and the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). |
| D | Shot Pin | Allow for the accurate and controlled placement of the parts on the pass table. The shot pin goes through a portion of the part on the pallet to help control the location of the part in the fixture. |
| E | Tunkers Clamp | Secures the part to the table during operations. |
