Forklift
3.1
Function
When equipped with the forklift module, the Robotino
®
functions like a conventional conveyor vehicle. The
forklift’s motor is connected to the fourth motor terminal at the Robotino
®
. 2 limit switches and a switch lug
are attached in order to specify the maximum working range. The end positions are implemented by means
of software only.
With the help of Robotino
®
View, you can move the axis within its working range and travel at different
speeds.
Proceed as follows in order to save the forklift positions to memory in Robotino
®
View:
–
Move the forks to the lowest possible point.
–
Set the position value to 0 at the rotary encoder input function block.
–
Advance the forklift to the desired position with the help of Robotino
®
View. Use the power output
function block to this end.
–
Enter the rotary encoder’s current position value as a constant in order to be able to conduct a target-
actual comparison later on.
–
Incremental travel is also possible if the actual position is reset to 0 after each travel operation.
Be sure to observe the end positions of the linear axis in the Robotino
®
View program.
