Module HRL: high-bay warehouse

An electric linear axis with a toothed belt drive and a pneumatic linear axis along with a removal cylinder remove workpieces from a shelf and transport them to a transfer position. This can be to the right and left of the high-bay warehouse. The workpieces can be removed from these transfer positions and put down again for storage. The positions of the electric X-axis (speed adjustable via speed controller) and the pneumatic Z-axis are each determined by a perforated strip with forked light barriers. The pneumatic Y-axis is scanned with cylinder switches. A reflex light barrier can detect workpieces in the storage compartment. The motor control is done with a reversing contactor circuit. The cylinders are controlled with electropneumatic directional control valves.
