Process description:
This station is the second half of the SSC2P2HV2
system and complements the SSC2P2HV2-B, product-no. 69566.
It provides the
subsequent process by picking up the cube halves from the Belt Conveyor (previous
station) with the Handling Unit and moving them 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.
Station description:
The mechatronic station consists of 2 base plates
(T-slotted AL-profile plate) which are equipped with the following mechatronic functional
units:
1 Handling Unit,
1 Pneumatik Press, 1 ASRS, 1 Service Unit.
The mechatronic station
is controlled by one SIMATIC S7-1516-3PN/DP programmable logic controller (PLC)
and one SIMATIC TP700 Comfort HMI color touch panel. The PLC offers a ProfiNet and
ProfiBus interface on board which can be used to set up a network with other PLCs
or controls and to teach industrial network technology.
The SSC2P2HV2-B can be extended with a previous segment to achieve a full process.
Both
segments together (SSC2P2HV2-A and SSC2P2HV2-B) add up to the complete system (product
no.: 69558).
The PLC program of the SSC2P2HV2-B is already designed in such
a way that the first segment can be connected via ProfiNet and will run automatically
with the second segment.
Detailed information regarding the used and above mentioned functional units are
available on our web site.
The mechatronic station 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 system.
