System in working condition incl. technical documentation
This compact mechatronic system depicts a tightly structured automatized production
process. Here, the manufacturing steps of feeding, material testing, transporting
and handling, pressing and storing are realized. The applied workpieces are partly
pinned cube halfs of aluminium and plastic. The system is assembled by single mechatronic
Functional Units of the mMS series and is suitable for teaching of qualifications
in automation technology and mechatronics. The system is available as a construction
kit of unprocessed semi-finished material, as an assembly kit of ready processed
parts or as an ready assembled system in working condition. Depending on the qualifications,
which are to teach, you can apply the kits or the finished system. Extensive project
documentation is available to support your students in aquiring of action based
skills on the system and to lead them to learn and act independently.
Each mechatronic Functional Unit is providing extensive action-based project documentation
to support the lecturer by a competent introduction as well as by putting the action-based
work into practice. For working on the material kit, additional help is given by
manufactural drawings, material for work planning, didactical keynotes and many
other documentation. For the assessment of students you are supported by control-
and evaluation sheets as well as guidelines for shop talks.
Station 1 (Conveyor) consisting of:
• 1
stack magazine normal height
• 1 stack magazine extended height
• 1 conveyor belt long
• 1 testing unit
• 1
service unit
• 1 operator panel
• mounted on
aluminium profile plate 700 x 550 mm
Pre-pinned cube halfs of aluminium and plastic are feeded onto the conveyor belt
by the stack magazine. The testing unit checks, if the delivered halves are the
correct ones. The halves are transported to the end of the belt in order to be
picked up by Station 2.
Station 2 (Processing) consisting of:
• 1
handling device with z-axis
• 1 press with hydraulic or pneumatic
cylinder (as desired)
mounted on aluminium profile plate 500 x 550 mm
The handling device is picking the cube halves from the belt of Station 1 and
inserts them into the press. Here, the halves are being pressed by the cylinder
and afterwards withdrawn again by the handling device in order to deliver them
to the transportation axes of Station 3.
Station 3 (ASRS) consisting of:
• 1
automatic storage and retrieval system (ASRS) comprising of each a vertical- and
horizontal axis with shelf unit
mounted on aluminium profile plate 400 x
550 mm
The transport axes of the ASRS are storing the finished cubes delivered by Station
2.
