Mechatronics System SSC2P2HV2
Ready for Use System

Process description:
After separation of workpieces (cube halves) from the Magazine Units to the Belt Conveyor their material properties and orientation are determined. Subsequently workpieces can be sorted onto three slides or moved forward to the end of the Belt Conveyor. There the cube halves are picked up by a Handling Unit and moved to the Pneumatic Press. In the Press Unit both cube halves are joined together. Subsequently the Handling unit again fetches the manufactured cube and forwards it to the ASRS where the cube is stored by the rack feeder.
The system uses workpieces made of aluminium, white and black plastic and spring pins for joining the cube halves.

System description:
The mechatronics system consists of 3 base plates (T-slotted AL-profile plates) which are equipped with the following mechatronic functional units:
2 Pneumatic Service Units, 2 Magazine Units, Belt Conveyor, Sorting Unit (for material testing and sorting), Handling Unit with vacuum suction, Pneumatic Press, ASRS with rack feeder. The mechatronics system is controlled by two SIMATIC S7-1516-3 PN/DP programmable logic controllers (PLC) and two SIMATIC TP700 Comfort HMI color touch panels. Both PLCs are connected via ProfiNet. The ProfiBus interface on board the PLCs may be alternatively used to teach and evaluate ProfiBus communication instead ProfiNet.
With little effort the system can be separated mechanically and electrically in two segments. Both controls work independantly and each control takes care only of the connected system part.

Detailed information regarding the used and above mentioned functional units are available on our web sites.

The mechatronics system is provided fully assembled, programmed, tested and ready to use.
The PLC program is written in SIMATIC STEP 7. All comments within the PLC program are in English, as well as the documentation belonging to the complete system.
