The heart of
Workpiece measuring gate
Painting automation using photocells and light gates allows precise control of the guns and manipulators. The system recognises the presence, length and shape of the workpiece, making it possible to switch on the application only at appropriate times, resulting in real savings in paint and energy.
Made in Romer
Workpiece measuring gate
Bottom tank made of chemical-resistant plastic, equipped with a simple grease and sediment separator. Facilitates the disposal of used liquid and protects the system against clogging. Capacity: 25 litres.
Benefits for you
Use of a single photocell
The use of a single photocell in the workpiece area allows the length of the workpiece to be measured, thus enabling the guns to be switched on when the workpiece enters their range and to be switched off immediately after the workpiece is painted. A photocell is included as standard.
Identification of details by means of special markers.
Tin plates with identification holes were placed above the slinging of the detail. On the basis of these, the PLC, in conjunction with a photocell, recognises the workpiece and switches the guns on and off in good time - thus saving energy and powder paint.
Vertical shape detection of the workpiece.
The use of light gates with horizontal detectors allows the PLC to analyse the vertical shape of the workpiece. The PLC counts the time at which the workpiece should appear in the gun space - this makes it possible to selectively switch the guns on or off.
Use of light gates with multiple sensors horizontally and vertically.
This solution allows the precise measurement of workpiece dimensions, which also makes it possible to control manipulators.
Benefits of gates and photocells
The benefits of using photocells or light gates are mainly powder and energy savings. Elimination of painting a zone in which there is no workpiece. When using light gates, precise gun control.
