The Pieces Manipulator Workstation, "AE-PLC-MPS", designed by EDIBON, allows the user to learn about the basic concepts of pneumatics, electro-pneumatics and vacuum (operation, elements of each circuit, etc.) without any previous knowledge or experience.
The "AE-PLC-MPS" is a unit that works with pneumatics, electro-pneumatics and vacuum technologies.
The "AE-PLC-MPS" performs the following operation: moving a piece from one position to another by using suction pads and vacuum technology.
The main components are:
- The PLC: is composed by the CPU limit and all extra modules needed to perform a corrent working of the workstation and all the extra modules needed to perform a correct working of the workstation.
- The Control Panel: with start/stop button, emergency pushbutton, reset button, light indicators to show current state of the process, etc.
- The Pneumatic Circuit: contains the required solenoid valves, the pressure components, the filters and regulators to assure the appropriate working of the unit.
- The Workstation: it is composed by real industrial components used by the rotary table systems such as reed sensors, presence sensors, DC motor, inductive sensors, rotary table with 8 positions, etc.
