8 Function

The Distributing/conveyor station separates workpieces stored in the magazine tube of the stacking
magazine. A double-acting cylinder pushes the workpieces out one at a time. The conveyor module
transports the workpiece to the right or left. If required, the workpiece can be stopped and separated on the
conveyor.
