Training Object Sorting
Training Objest Sorting is a station for training in automation and covers:
- Logical functions
- PLC programming
- Basic pneumatics
- Sensor technology
- Motor control
The stations is supplied with a Siemens S7-1200 PLC system and a laboratory book consisting of experiments based upon TIA portal software. The station can be programmed from any PLC with 14 inputs and 7 outputs.
Training Object Sorting can be combined with Training Object Assembly and/or Training Object ASRS to create a small scale production line to study production flow, bus communication with PLC, industry 4.0 and I/O Link.
Main functions
1 The linear unit picks an object from the storage unit. Positions can be
handled with inductive sensors or the encoder system
2 The different objects, black, white plastic and metal are identified by
sensor panel
3 Objects are placed in the right position by the electrical linear unit and
the pneumatic pusher
