Mechanical design

  • L32E CompactLogix control system
  • two three-axis manipulators driven by three-phase stepper motors in two axes; the third axis is pneumatic
  • two small and two large conveyor belts driven by AC motors
  • CLP 100 bar code scanner connected to a PLC through the RS-232 interface
  • Marlin F-131C color camera connected to a PC through FireWire
  • KEYENCE CZ-H35S optical color sensor with KEYENCE CZ-V21AP evaluating instrument
  • a vibrating stack with a control unit
  • warehouse is permanently installed with 28 positions
  • View 600 color touch panel allows local visualization
  • the line includes a number of pneumatic actuators, inductive, resistive and optical sensors

Description of the Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS)

  • FMS consists of 6 positions shown in the figure and described below
  • the FMS is required to assemble a color pattern out of 25 colored marbles according to a specific order
  • camera system uses an image recognition application to check the accuracy of the produced pattern
  • the information system collects and evaluates orders, determines the production plan, allows stack tracking and FMS analysis
  • the operator is able to control and manage production with local and remote visualization
    • Description of posts

      • post 1: three-axis manipulator assembles the desired pattern
      • post 2: after camera inspection, the template is moved to the first conveyor
      • post 3: template is selected in the formation and storage of stock
      • post 4: template is moved from the first conveyor to the second one
      • post 5: full or poorly made template is tilted back into the reservoir
      • post 6: blocks from a vibrating stack are sorted by color in small containers
