Concept and Use

Mechatronic system for tabletop assembly with small, fully functional modules.

The setup is designed for group work and versatile combinations; control modules are connected via standardized data interfaces.

Module Overview

The system consists of the following modules and accessories:

99610 Feed magazine with test unit
99611 Swivel transfer unit
99612 Analog measuring unit
99613 Sorting in 3 tracks
99700 Control panel
99701 Manual service unit
99702 Accessory set

Feed Magazine with Test Unit

Workpieces are separated from a magazine and presented on a tray. Fill level, tray position and workpiece state are monitored by light barrier, microswitch, optical and inductive sensors.

A double-acting pneumatic cylinder ejects the workpieces one by one; the actuator is driven by an electrically operated solenoid valve.

Setup: aluminium T-slot plate 160 mm x 400 mm, data interface, compact valve island, feed magazine for cylindrical workpieces, test unit at the workpiece tray
Learning goals: singling out parts, collision-safe presentation and sensor-based state detection

Swivel Transfer Unit

The swivel transfer unit moves workpieces between two modules with defined material transfer points.

A pneumatic swivel drive up to 180? transfers workpieces with a vacuum gripper; cylinder positions are detected by non-contact sensors.

Setup: aluminium T-slot plate 160 mm x 400 mm, data interface, compact valve island, swivel transfer unit, vacuum generator
Learning goals: transferring, suction gripping and collision-safe placement

Analog Measuring

Workpieces are moved on a carrier by a lifting unit against an analog travel measuring system.

The measuring system outputs an analog voltage from 0 to 10 V that can be evaluated by a PLC at the analog input; the workpiece can be routed to the next station or discharged at the lower position.

Setup: aluminium T-slot plate 160 mm x 400 mm, data interface, compact valve island, lifting unit with rodless cylinder, analog measuring system, discharge cylinder, 2 chutes
Learning goals: discharge of defined parts and material thickness measurement with a linear potentiometer

Sorting in 3 Tracks

Workpieces are guided past three chutes by a linear system and sorted by material using a moving pneumatic output unit.

Positioning is handled by a fork light barrier on a perforated sheet, the chutes are monitored by a light barrier.

Setup: aluminium T-slot plate 350 mm x 400 mm, data interface, compact valve island, linear unit with pneumatic workpiece carrier, 3 chutes, light barrier
Learning goals: positioning, limit switches/microswitches, reversing contactor circuit and fill-level monitoring

Control Panel and Service Unit

The control panel is a sturdy aluminium enclosure with rubber feet and a 25-pin D-SUB connector for connection to the controller.

The manual service unit can be mounted on an installation plate and includes a filter pressure regulator, pressure control valve, manual shut-off valve and Steckfix connections.

Control panel: 1 illuminated pushbutton normally closed, 2 illuminated pushbuttons normally open, 1 selector switch, 2 indicator lamps, 25-pin D-SUB
Service unit: 5 ?m filter, semi-automatic condensate drain, adjustment range 0.05 to 0.7 MPa

Accessory Set

The 23-piece accessory set combines storage box, tools, profile connectors, end caps and workpieces for day-to-day operation.

One accessory set is sufficient for systems with up to eight MCS modules.

Storage box and release tool for plastic tubing
Screwdrivers, hex key set, tube cutter, profile connectors and end caps
