Description - I
• Each one of the three units that constitute the
system i.e., distribution unit, test unit and
processing unit, is further defined as an
aggregation of other mechanical units.
• The distribution unit, which is composed of a

• The distribution unit, which is composed of a
pneumatic feeder and a converter, forwards
cylindrical work pieces from the Stack to the
Testing unit. The testing unit is composed of the
detector, the elevator and the shift out cylinder.
Description - II
• The detection unit performs checks on work pieces
for height, material type and colour. Work pieces
that successfully pass this check are forwarded to
the rotating disk of the
• processing unit, where the drilling of the work piece

• processing unit, where the drilling of the work piece
is performed as the primary processing of this MPS.
• The result of the drilling operation is next checked
by the checking machine and the work piece is
forwarded for further processing to another
mechanical unit.
