Preface Preface Purpose of this manual The purpose of this manual is to describe a number of operations that are intended for the user concerned. Here it becomes clear how the user can work as well and as safely as possible. By making use of clear illustrations and texts FlexLink wants to achieve a simple and safe way of working with the X65 function modules. This document contains remarks that point out a risky or specific situation to the user.
Preface Requirements of the user The X65 Conveyor system may be operated by any adult person who has become acquainted with section 1 Safety. If the user is not technically qualified, he or she may not carry out any maintenance or repair activities on the system. . . 2 Note! Maintenance activities on the system may only be carried out by a technically qualified person.
Safety 1 Safety The X65 function modules has been designed in such a way, that it can be used and maintained in a safe way. This holds for the application, the circumstances and the instructions described in the manual. Any person working with or on this system should study the manual and follow the instructions. It is the responsibility of the employer to make sure that the employee is familiar with and follows these instructions.
Safety 1.2 The most important safety conditions At the moment that the X65 system is going to be operated by a user, the following safety conditions must be met: • Only persons who have read and understood the operating instructions are allowed to operate, maintain and clean the system. • Provide good ambient lighting to enable the operator to work well and orderly with the system. 1.2.1 . • Incorrect use of the equipment can cause personal injury.
Safety 1.2.3 . Electricians Electricians must have: • Experience from similar installations • Sufficient knowledge to work from drawings and wiring diagrams • Knowledge of local safety regulations for electrical power and automation To avoid risks, only experienced personnel with technical knowledge and experience may perform repair work on the electronics components. 1.2.4 Created by EBCCW 00:06 .
Safety 1.3 Description of safety provisions Before putting the system into operation some safety provisions are to be taken care of. The purpose of these safety provisions is to protect the user, the product and the system against undesired situations (damage). Without these safety provisions FlexLink cannot give a guarantee on any damage caused in absence of these safety provisions. The table below gives a general description of the safety provisions required.
Safety 1.4 Safety information For a safe operation of the conveyor system a number of safety measures are to be taken. These include the following measures: 1.4.1 Power supply must be disconnected during installation (air and voltage). Figure 2 Sharp edges 1.5 Intended use Created by EBCCW 00:06 The X65 function modules are intended to be used with the X65 pallets, XLPP 100x128. All other use is the responsibility of the user.
Technical specification 2 Technical specification 2.1 Operating conditions The circumstances under which the X65 conveyor system can be applied partly depend on the materials selected. FlexLink has defined a number of parameters within which the system would be allowed to function. Should the system still be applied beyond these limiting values, FlexLink cannot guarantee the good functioning of it.
Technical specification 2.2 Ordering information XLUT 45 D, XLUT 45 M, XLUT 45 C, XLUT 90 D, XLUT 90 M and XLUT 90 C. Question Choices Description code Right/Left Right/Left Right/Left Sensors Yes/No S/N Photo eyes Yes/No PE-2/N RFID Yes/No RF/N Configuration example One of the six above mentioned modules has to be chosen first. Then the questions in the configurator have to be answered.
Functions 3 Functions 3.1 Function description for Divert modules The diverter function gives the opportunity to split highway flow to two streams (satellite & highway), in a fully controlled way. The function is equipped with all needed parts to setup and run it, including set of sensors (not mandatory), RFID read/write head (not mandatory), fasteners and pneumatic actuators.
Functions Initiators B1 Pre-stop highway B2 and B3 sensing pallet route B4 and B5 position of diverter arm B6 RFID head B3 B4 B5 A2 B2 Actuators A1 Pre-stop. Single acting A2 Arm. Double acting Interfaces B1-B5 M12-connector, 3-pin B6 RFID, 4-pin (ASI) A1 Ø 6 mm pneumatic hose A2 Ø 6 mm pneumatic hose A1 B6 B1 Figure 3 XLUT 45 D (also valid for XLUT 90 D) Principle of operation Diverting pallet to satellite: A pallet on Highway is approaching.
Functions Function occupied Before a pallet is let into the function the previous flow must be finished, the arm to be in right position and downstream receiver be ready to receive. Example: Previous flow was on satellite. Pallet enters on highway to go straight. Stop A1 block the flow, then wait until B2 and B3 do not detect any pallets. Thereafter diverter change arm position. When downstream Highway is ready to receive, then pallet on highway is released by stop A1.
Functions 3.1.2 Cylinder details Cylinder A1 "Pre-stop" Type: Single acting with two ports. Function: • Pressurized: Releases the pallet flow • No pressure: Blocks the pallet flow For safety reasons, the pallet stop is blocking the flow in case of a pressure drop, preventing pallets from travelling uncontrolled along the conveyor. The stop should not re-block the flow while a pallet puck is in a position where it could be clamped. Cylinder A1 It is recommended to re-block the flow after each pallet.
Functions 3.1.3 Sensor details Sensor B1 "Pre-stop" Type: Proximity switch, inductive Position: Placed together with Pre-stop. Function: Detects the initiator plate of the pallet before the pallet is stopped and stays active until the pallet leaves the stop. The reason why the pallet is detected by the sensor before the pallet hits the stop, is to enhance the efficiency of the pallet flow.
Functions 3.2 Function description for Merge modules The merging function gives the opportunity to merge two flows of pallets (satellite to highway) in a fully controlled way. The function is equipped with all needed parts to setup and run it, including set of sensors (not mandatory), fasteners and pneumatic actuators. Excluded parts: • Chain • Slide rails for chain and guide rails • Tubes for pneumatic circuit • Pallets • Cables (for sensors) 3.2.
Functions Initiators B1 Pre-stop highway B2 Pre-stop satellite B3 and B4 Sensing pallet route Actuators A1 Pre-stop. Single acting A2 Pre-stop. Single acting Interfaces B1-B4 M12-connector, 3-pin A1 Ø 6 mm pneumatic hose A2 Ø 6 mm pneumatic hose B3 A2 B2 Figure 4 B4 A1 B1 XLUT 45 M (also valid for XLUT 90 M) Principle of operation Merging a satellite pallet A pallet on Satellite is approaching. Sensor B2 is activated which actuates stop A2 which stops the pallet, if function is occupied.
Functions Function occupied Before a pallet is let into the function the previous flow must be finished and the downstream receiver be ready to receive. Example: Previous flow was straight. Pallet enters on Satellite to be merged. Stop A2 block the flow, then wait until B3 and B4 do not detect any pallets. When downstream Highway is ready to receive, then pallet on Satellite is released by stop A2. Sensors The primary function of in position sensors (B1, B2) is to detect pallet placed in specific position.
Functions 3.2.3 Sensor details Sensor B1 and B2 "Pre-stop" Type: Proximity switch, inductive Position: Placed together with Pre-stop. Function: Detects the initiator plate of the pallet before the pallet is stopped and stays active until the pallet leaves the stop. The reason why the pallet is detected by the sensor before the pallet hits the stop, is to enhance the efficiency of the pallet flow.
Functions 3.3 Function description for Divert and Merge modules 45° The combiner function gives the opportunity to split and join highway to satellite/ satellite to highway flows in a fully controlled way. The function is equipped with all needed parts to setup and run it, including set of sensors (not mandatory), RFID read/write head (not mandatory), fasteners and pneumatic actuators.

Functions Straight passing through: A pallet on Highway is approaching. The pallet activates sensor B1 which actuates stop A1 which stops the pallet if function is occupied. Sensor B3 and B4 supervise the function area. If both sensors gives low signal the area is empty. Function occupied: Before a pallet is let into the function the previous flow must be finished, the arm to be in right position and downstream receiver be ready to receive. Example: Previous flow was straight.
