Workpieces are moved on a workpiece carrier with a lifting device against a measuring system. An analog voltage signal in the range 0...10V can be evaluated with a PLC at the analog input (material thickness measurement). The workpiece can be transferred to the next station via a chute at an intermediate position of the lifting device or discharged at the lower position.The end positions of the cylinder piston are queried via non-contact signal transmitters (REED). The cylinder is controlled by an electrically actuated 5/2-way valve.
