Describe the basic operation of a positioner system used to swap raw and finished parts
What will be an ideal response?
When used in this fashion the system will often have a rotary platform with all
the appropriate fixturing and clamps installed on it. The operator will put the raw
parts in one set of fixtures, lock them in place, and then press an indicator button
that sends a signal to the system controller that the parts are ready. When the
system is ready to process parts, say at start up or after finishing the previous
cycle, the positioner will rotate the raw parts into the work zone and at the same
time rotate out the other fixture for the operator to remove finished parts and refill
with raw parts.
