This is ideally a second station in Hytech MPS system which is preceded by MPS 1. Job can be directly transferred from station 1 to station 2.
In case of Multi station option, station 2 starts immediately as the job is transferred from Station 1 to station 2. In case of Individual mode, user has to place the job on the conveyor to initiate the system. In case of multi station mode, job is transferred from station 2 to station 3. In case of individual mode, processed job from station 2 is dropped in a bin to conclude the process.
Digital sensor is provided in station 2 which can be taught to sense a particular color. This input of a digital color sensor can be used to decide the process flow or to display the count on SCADA.
Pneumatic drilling application can actually drill on a raw job of operator’s choice. User can decide the jobs (based on color from MPS2 / material from MPS1) that will be drilled and the ones that will not be drilled.
