What is the Disk Feeder?
In this Lab, the Disk Feeder was added to the Workcell. The Disk Feeder is used to dispense one disk at a time onto the Entry Conveyor in the Workcell. Using the Disk Feeder allows multiple disks to the Workcell in an autonomous fashion, so that a disk does not need to be manually placed onto the Entry Conveyor each time.
The Disk Feeder rests above the Optical Sensor. The Optical Sensor detects if an object is present, and if so, the color of that object. Used with the Disk Feeder, the Optical Sensor detects the color of the disk present on the Entry Conveyor or the disk at the bottom of the Disk Feeder stack.
