It houses four pneumaticcylinders, and four hollow probes for air flow. The pneumatic cylindersfeature spring return to the upper position. The probes incorporate a measureof compliance to allow contacting all sizes of devices without applyingexcessive force.The probes have rubber tips which must be kept clean in order to createadequate suction against the device.The PNP Assembly will not move until all four probes are in their up position.RoadRunner runs atslow speed when theRobotic Cover (safetyshield) is not in place.Linear StageA linear stage—consisting of a stepper motor, encoder and ball screw—moves the PNP head linearly to accommodate the following positions:• device tape pick point, • programmer sockets,• reject bin,• and programmer sockets.The linear stage motor receives signals from the motion controller via anamplifier. The PNP head is, itself, part of the Linear Stage Module.Data I/O • ProLINE-RoadRunner Owner’s Manual • 096-0240 [updated Mar2010] 1—7
