AE-PLC-ALB Estação de Armazenagem para Garrafas

The Bottling Storage Workstation, "AE-PLC-ALB", designed by EDIBON, is an automatic storage workstation for bottles with three degrees of freedom X-Y-Z. The "AE-PLC-ALB" is composed by two linear electrical actuators to move over the X-Y axes, and a pneumatic actuator (Z axis) with a vacuum cup that is used to catch and release bottles. The function of the workstation is to catch bottles in the input area, and release each bottle in the programmed position of a numbered pallet.

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 workstation.
• 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.

The "AE-PLC-ALB" is an independent workstation that can work alone and/or in conjunction with other workstation to make up a complete Flexible Manufacturing System (*).
