MCE-530 Linear Storage Module Educational Equipment Mechatornics Training Equipment
Mod. MCE-530 stores pieces according to the type of material they are made of. Pieces are conveyed by a trolley moving along an axis and stopping to fill the slides according to the tests carried out in the previous stations. A cylinder ejects the piece into the appropriate slide. The condition of ‘full store’ and the position of the trolley are identified by industrial sensors. The module is assembled on a sectioned aluminium base, and it can be easily moved around the laboratory. TRAINING PROGRAM • Fundamentals of Electro-pneumatics • Piece storage methods • Operating an electrovalve • Operating a set of automated sensors • Operating a pneumatic cylinder • PLC control • Microprocessor control TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Modular unit assembled on a sectioned aluminium structure. It includes an I/O interface box with Ø 2 mm terminals that,besides working as control board for the module, enablesthe students to carry out electrical measurements on its components.
