s4. Assembly Pending [s1] [s2] [s3] [s5] [s6] [s7]

At this point the ring has been transferred to the assembly hopper by cycling the rotary solenoid from the Index Cam Open to the Index Cam Closed position and back. The presence of the ring is indicated by the Hopper Full detector.

In this picture, a peg has passed the sort station and has been deflected down the peg chute onto the belt conveyor. The mechanical arrangement is such that the ring will be assembled to the peg as the latter is carried under the assembly station by the belt conveyor.

NOTE -The presence of two rings in the hopper may cause the assembly operation to jam.
