General Description

The Pneumatic Handling and Conveyor Belt, "AE-PLC-MACT", is an automatic handling station with a conveyor system commanded by a PLC. The "AE-PLC-MACT" is composed of a pneumatic handling system that uses vacuum technology to move pieces from the input area to the conveyor system or vice versa.

The "AE-PLC-MACT" pneumatic station consists of:

  • DC conveyor belt with servomotor, which allows to control the speed, position and direction of rotation.
  • Part sensors to detect the part and stop the belt to place another part.
  • Pneumatic system for moving parts using vacuum technology to pick them up.
  • PLC that automates the process.
  • Removable key switch to turn the equipment on or off.
  • Control panel with mushroom type stop switch, stop start buttons, manual and automatic mode, indicator lights.
