MCE-520 Piece Thickness Measurement Module Vocational Training Equipment Mechatornics Training Equipment
Mod. MCE-520 allows to sort pieces according to their thickness. The measurement is carried out by a sensor whose output voltage is an analog signal between 0-10 V. The piece is carried upwards and pressed against the sensor in such a way as to determine its thickness according to the output voltage. When the piece fits the pre-set parameters it is released in the first slide, otherwise it is discarded in the second slide. 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 selection methods • Operating an electrovalve • Operating a set of automated sensors • Operating a microcylinder • Operating a rodless 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.
