Configuration of the Conveyor Tracking System with Two Conveyors and One Robot

The example of the vision tracking system is illustrated below.
This application is effective in the case where the conveyor's speed is so slow that the robot has excessive time to pickup workpieces.

When the controller obtains position data of workpiece, obtains the conveyor number at the same time. Based on the obtained data, the robot picks up the target workpiece on the conveyor.

Conveyor Tracking

Wiring Diagram

Wiring diagram is illustrated below.
Connect the encoder of the second conveyor to the master controller as well.

Encoder Hub

For encoder hub, there are old model and new model.

If you use a new model, connect the encoder line of the motor & encoder cable to the encoder hub's connector port indicated as "ROBOT-0" (on the left side viewed from the front).

For details about the external diagram and the precaution on installation, refer to "Encoder HUB".
