The modular features of this flexible automation cell allowthe introduction of variations in the posts of which it iscomprised so that they adapt to the different requirementsof companies and training centers. From a simpleconfiguration with one station only (working fullyautonomously) to a complex configuration with eight or tenstations, the possibilities are endless.

In addition, it enables making a staggered investment, i.e.starting with an initial basic configuration which can beeasily completed by adding workstations.

All the components of which the FMS-200 is comprised areused in industry, in such a way that the user can work withreal elements at all times making the learning process moremeaningful.

The system includes a whole series of feeding, handling,verification and loading operations etc. carried out usingcomponents from different technologies (pneumatics,hydraulics, electrotechnics, robotics, etc.).

The breakdown simulation system TROUB-200 generatesup to 16 malfunctions to be diagnosed by the user.

The different process stations assemble a turningmechanism which consists of the following elements:

- Base or body

- Bearing

- Shaft

- Lid

- Screws

To provide the system with greater flexibility, the variousstations adapt to a wide variety of assemblies, introducingvariations in the materials, colors and part sizes. Thecombination of all these possibilities means that a total oftwenty four different assemblies can be obtained enablingthe use of production management strategies.

The control mesh is completely modular and can be rapidlydisassembled so the user can design a new mesh.

135FMS-200

The transport system

There are two alternative forms of transferring the final product which is assembled in the different stations: using a 4 metrelong bidirectional conveyer belt which allows attaching of up to 8 workstations or using modular conveyer belts (in this optioneach of the stations includes a transfer section). This version allows the user to create a complete configuration with the 10workstations available at that time or to add options as needed.

The process stations

Each of the workstations is comprised of a structure based on aluminum profiles where the elements to carry out thecorresponding process are located. The front part includes the control unit which consists of the control panel and the PLCselected by the user.

The stations can be easily extracted from the cell so that work can be carried out autonomously. Wheels facilitate mobility andthe assembly of the stations in order to configure more complex compositions.

Each of the stations carries out one part of the assembly process making use of the different technologies used in automatedindustry:

1 - Body supply2 - Bearing supply3 - Hydraulic press4 - Shaft selection/ supply 5 - Cover selection/ supply6 - Screws supply7 - Robotized screwing8 - Storage9 - Paint drying in oven

10 - Quality control using artificial vision

Multiple integrated modules

Feeding the base

The parts which act as the base for the final product(turning mechanism) are housed in a gravity feeder.The base is pushed by using a pneumatic cylinder.

Position verification

The rest of the components are inserted into thehousing of the base. This housing has to be positionedupwards since the components will not enter in anyother position. In order to check the position of thebase a cylinder with an attached cylindrical part isused. If the base is in an incorrect position, the cylinderwill not complete its stroke and the magnetic detectorwill not be activated and a signal is sent to the PLCindicating this situation.

Displacement to the transfer point.

A cylinder with a rectangular section is responsible formoving the base to a point from which it will becollected.

Rejection of incorrect base

If the base is in the incorrect position, a single actingcylinder is used to push it towards an evacuation ramp.

Insertion of the base in the pallet

A handling device with two shafts moves the base fromthe transfer point to the pallet. Each shaft contains adual rod cylinder with parallel rods, while the terminalelement is a vacuum holding platform with fourvacuum pads. A vacuum ejector is responsible forsuction.

Feeding the bearing

A gravity feeder stores the bearings. A pusher cylinderextracts the one in the lowest position. A presencesensor with a microswitch verifies whether a bearinghas really been extracted and warns when the feederparts have run out.

Transfer to the measuring module

The bearing is moved to the next point by a handlingdevice based on a rack and pinion rotary actuator. Theactuator has an arm with parallel opening type gripperin order to hold the part correctly.

Measuring the height

The bearing is placed on a platform over a location pin.This platform is lifted using a pneumatic rodlesscylinder and the bearing makes contact with a straightplunger which measures the height. The straightplunger is comprised of a linear potentiometer. In theevent that the bearing does not have the desired height(and marked in the PLC), it is pushed up to theevacuation ramp using an ejecting cylinder.

Insertion of the bearing

A rotolinear handling device with an arm with a gripperwith two fingers moves the bearing to the housing inthe base.

Several technologies integrated in only one station!

Insertion/ extraction of the product in process

The handling and transfer of the product in process iscarried out using a pneumatic rotary actuator whichincludes an arm with four vacuum pads. These have totransfer the part using vacuum. The handling deviceincludes a mechanism based on pinion and ribbed beltto constantly keep the part in the same position.

Feeding the press

Two double acting pneumatic cylinders transfer theproduct in process from the transfer point to thepressing and vice versa.

Pressing the bearing.

Once the part has reached the pressing point aprotection screen actuated by a pneumatic cylinderdescends to protect the user from any potentialincidents. All the safety standards are observed in theequipment; this, in turn, enables user contact with thesafety mechanisms used in industry.

The pressing cylinder (controlled by a 4/3 waydistribution valve) proceeds to lower with adjustableforce (using a pressure restrictor valve). Once thebearing is pressed, the screen lifts and the product inprocess is transported to the original position.

Modules included in the station

Index plate.

The different operations undertaken in this station aredistributed around an index plate. This plate uses anoscillating pusher cylinder and two stopper cylinderswhich work alternatively, to rotate a specific number ofdegrees between each of the operations which are carriedout in relation to it.

Feeding of shafts

The shafts remain stored in a gravity feeder. By using astepper feeding system (formed by two pneumaticcylinders) they are extracted and left in the first position ofthe revolving plate.

Measuring the shaft height.

The shaft is not symmetrical and must be positioned overthe assembly in a specific position. To ensure the correctpositioning of the shaft, the height is measured by apneumatic cylinder fitted with a magnetic detector.

Positioning the shaft in the correct position.

If the previous module detects that the shaft is positionedincorrectly, a handling device has to correct it. The shaft isheld by a gripper with two fingers and lifted by a dual rodcylinder. A 180º rotary actuator turns it and places it backin the correct position.

Detection of the material.

The following two station modules detect the material thatthe shaft is made of. An inductive detector and acapacitive one must ascertain whether the material isnylon or aluminum.

Integrated technologies:

Pneumatics, electro-pneumatics, handling, sensors, vacuum.

Removal of the incorrect shaft.

This station selects the type of shaft to be assembled onthe product in process and rejects shafts made ofundesired material. This function is carried out by ahandling device with two shafts with a vacuum pad at theend. Each shaft is comprised of a dual rod cylinder whichcarries out the shaft lifting movements and takes it to theevacuation ramp.

Insertion of the shaft in the assembly.

During the last phase of the process, a rotolinear handlingdevice collects the shaft, moves it and positions it in theassembly. The handling device has an arm with vacuumpad which holds the shaft by suction during this process.

SCADA: Supervision, control and data acquisition

This is a software application increasingly used in industry via which the process can be monitored and supervised from thecomputer screen:

The SCADA systems allow communication betweenthe various field devices (autonomous controllers,PLCs, etc.).

The information compiled from the process can bedisplayed, managed and stored from the PC viadifferent functional levels in the company (qualitycontrol, production control, supervision, maintenance,etc.).

The system allows the user to monitor and modifyspecific process parameters in real time.

It has a graphic interface similar to the real system withanimations that reproduce what is occurring in theprocess.

SCADA detects the alarms in the event of systemfailures.

This allows the generation of data logs and the analysisof statistical data.

The SCADA system is fully operative. We have a wide variety of SCADA systembrands which are adapted to our product. Please consult availability.

The user can generate his/her own graphic interfaceand define and program the SCADA functionality.
