Students gain understanding of conveyor systems, sensing systems, pneumatic pick and place technology, DC motor drives, and stepper motor drives. The factory includes a number of coloured discs made from plastic and other materials. A conveyor belt moves these pieces into the factory, where user programmed sensors sort the discs into multiple rejection bins. Some are picked off the conveyor by a suction device and a stepper motor-controlled gantry sorts the discs into appropriately coloured containers.
The smart factory is completely self-contained and can be stored away in one of our standard trays. The smart factory can be used with Siemens (or other brand) 12V or 24V) PLC and is also compatible with our MIAC .
