Work handling system for components and tools - has identification display that is remotely programmed

摘要

A transfer line system of the type used in assembly processes has a work table (2) that can be moved along a guide track (1). The table has a data unit (4) that displays information in numeric or alpha numeric form to an operator who loads components (3). The data unit is programmed by a remote unit (6) that has a keyboard and an infrared link (7). The information is received and is used to change the state of a counter that drives the display. ADVANTAGE - Allows ease of identification of components in transfer lines.
