FlexTRAK Series 2MB Material Handler Addendum Operations

6.5 Material Handler Homing Routine

The material handling system must perform a homing routine in order to be operational. There are

five (5) axes that must reach home before the system can reset to a safe position.

CAUTION! Simultaneous motion of all drives may occur while the material

handling system performs a homing routine.

The homing routine contains of the following steps:

1. The upper gripper travels vertically along its Z-axis.

2. The upper Z-axis home sensor indicates that it has reached its upper limit.

3. Once the upper gripper reaches its upper limit, it travels horizontally along the

Y-axis to the upper gripper Y-axis home sensor.

4. The lower gripper travels vertically along the Z-axis. The lower Z-axis home sensor

indicates that it has reached its lower limit.

5. Once the lower gripper reaches its upper limit, it travels horizontally along the

Y-axis to the lower gripper Y-axis home sensor.

6. Both the upper and lower gripper assemblies are now located towards the front of the

system with both the Y- and Z-axes limits met. This is the home position for the upper and

lower gripper assemblies.

7. The conveyor's separator travels horizontally along the Y-axis until its home sensor

indicates that it has reached its limit.

8. The assembly resets back to its last known pick and place positions.

9. The gripper positioned at the chamber performs a “pick at chamber” to ensure no carriers

are present.

10. Both carrier stops extend.

The system is ready for use.

6.6 Automatic (Auto) Mode

Automatic mode is normally used for production operations requiring limited operator intervention. In

automatic mode, workpieces are continually processed until system operations are stopped.

This section is intended for system operators who typically run process recipes in automatic mode.

WARNING! Check to make sure there are no parts on the conveyor or in the

chamber before clicking on AUTO. The system will

not operate until all carriers are manually removed

from the system.
