Flexible Automated Plate Repositioning
The Plate Rotation Station is the best device-to-device plate repositioning system (i.e. "handshaking") available for your automated platform. The Plate Rotation Station is rugged, compact and requires no compressed air. Controlled by a 24-volt signal, the Plate Rotation Station monitors for plate presence and signals both primary and secondary automation deck controllers.
Adjustable Rotation Angle
- Offering more than just landscape or portrait plate positioning, the plate handoff positions can be set between 0-330º in 0.18º increments
- Use as a handoff station between different plate handlers or robots that are either non-orthogonal or facing each other (180º rotation)
Handshake between Primary and Secondary Automation Deck
- Coordinates plate handoff between two automation decks with conventional 24-volt binary signals
- Ensures that robotic arms from both automation decks are clear of the plate rotation station before allowing movement
Plate Present Sensing & Signaling
- Automation deck controller detects that plate is present and ready for pick-up
- Signal available for both primary and secondary automation deck controllers
Optional RS-232 Integration Kit Available
- Includes RS-232-converter box, power supply, interface connector cable and integration code CD
- Instant device implementation saves time and resources
