1. AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS FOR PRODUCTION LINES
Electric Cabinet
The automation solution is built around a PLC logically programmed, representing
the "brain" of the application. The PLC will receive field data from sensors and
equipment, will analyze their results, and will send commands to certain components
of the application. The automation process controls box transporting from the
packing area, handling them through a palletizing robot, transporting the pallets to
the wrapping area of safety.
Pneumatic Cabinet
Hosts pneumatic control used for pusher-type, stopper, lift axle devices. Pneumatic
cabinet contains: pneumatic stopper for box separation, mechanical accessories, air
preparing devices, valves, pneumatic hose, pneumatic fittings and accessories.
Electro-pneumatic centering device that assures the boxes are full when
palletizing (centers and ensures a pallet at the palletizing area). Pneumatic
elements as stopper and pusher for organizing boxes on pallets, optical sensors for
detection and control at the palletizing station, customized conveyor guides.
Cardboard separators magasine
It comprises an aluminium frame, where the operator will load a stack of cardboard,
and a fixed point cardboard delivery system, consisting of pneumatic axles, and
vacuum. All these components will be controlled by the central PLC. (To shorten the
time of cardboard delivery, we chose the fixed point delivery way. Thus, in this
configuration, the robot takes cardboard from a fixed point, no matter how high the
stack of cards in the magasine is).
Safety
Safety zone is a key component of the application, with the important role to protect
operators and maintenance staff work from injuries. The safety area of the
application includes the robot area, surrounded by a protection fence, with interlocks
mounted on the doors, and emergency buttons (E-Stop), which immediately stop the
operation of certain equipment (equipment, conveyors, pneumatics, etc) in case of
danger.
