ProFeeder X is designed for easy feeding of CNC machines and other workplaces and machines. Should be mounted with a fully installed cobot.
Safety notice
Introduction
The intension of this manual is to give a guideline of mounting a cobot at the
ProFeeder X and this is not valid as a CE marking of the robot cell.
A risk assessment most be full filled after the full installation is
concluded. Including the robot, gripper and other equipment and installations
at the workspace. ProFeeder X must be bolted to the floor when performing
working operation. The local governmental safety rules and legislation must be

Potential hazards
When the robot drags the trays or takes part from the trays there is a danger of pinching.
Installation
The installation of the ProFeeder X must be carried out only by trained, skilled personnel with the relevant profession. It is crucial to the safety and function of the machine, that it is properly aligned and securely anchored.
Fix to floor
Securely anchor the ProFeeder X to the floor with floor-suitable anchor bolts.
Relocate bracket for the teach pendant if needed

Locate the cable inside the hole and mount the T-Pad holder with the included
M6x12 bolts.
Mounting the controller inside the ProFeeder X
Place the control box inside the biggest console. Check that none of the
cables are squeezed
Mounting the robot
Follow the mounting guidelines of the robot manual. Attach the robot on top of the horizontal robot console. Mind the cable if connected. Use the hole plate for cable management. If the robot bolt-circle is different than the Universal Robots UR10e, use an adapter plate for fixation.
Use the included cable tie mount to fix the robot cable along the machine.
Air connection
Connect air to the ProFeeder X, use a maximum of 8 bar dry air supply.
Pressure can be regulated by using the included air regulator.
Connect buttons with integraded light
Connect the buttons as shown.
Adjustments
Adjusting the spring plungers
Loosen the nut and adjust the spring plungers so it touches the lock plate. Retighten the nut after adjustment.
Adjusting the feet
Loosen the lock nut, adjust the foot by turning, retighten the lock nut. The
feet should be adjusted so:
– The ProFeeder X stands stable without rocking, use a bubble level.
Using the ProFeeder X
General
Do not have more than one drawer out on each side.
ProFeeder X – Airlock
The Airlock-system must be connected to the mounted robot. The system uses ModBos TCP and must be connected through the included RJ45 cable.
The system must be controlled by the mounted button, which must be connected to the robot and programmed so that the buttons can activate the valve and thereby releasing the tray. And vice versa when the tray is reloaded. The light must be programmed as below:
5.3 ProFeeder X – Mechlock
When the Profeeder X is setup with the Mechanical lock, calibrate the spring plungers before using the cell.
