This is the first station of Hytech MPS system which is equipped with automatic loading tube. It can be connected to MPS 2.
Basic operational concept of this MPS is material based sorting along with Height sensing application. There are two separate provisions for rejections in this MPS. First rejection arrangement is mounted on the conveyor. Participants can select the job based on material (MS / SS / PU) to process further.
Height based sensing is again a rejection mechanism. Students can select the height of the job which will be processed to next station. In case if there is no MPS 2, participants can sort the jobs based on their heights.
