Industrial Mechatronic System – Storage

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:

UniTrain mechatronic courses

UniTrain multimedia courses on the topic of mechatronics provide the knowledge and skills required to understand,

control, operate and maintain modern, automated mechatronics installations. With the aid of animations and numerous

experiments, the various individual sub-systems are introduced, any necessary instrumentation or pneumatic cylinders are

set up and adjusted and the active processes are explained. Individual mechatronic components and sub-systems are set

up with the aid of detailed step-by-step instructions and automated sequences are programmed to control the equipment

by means of a programmable logic controller. This should make moving up to an industrial PLC system a simple task.

IMS 8 Storage

A carrier with a fully assembled and tested workpiece is located on the conveyor belt. The carrier is stopped at the removal

position. The handling module lifts the workpiece and transfers it to one of twenty possible storage positions. The

storage positions can be chosen according to the production task and test results. The empty carrier is conveyed to the

end of the belt to be passed on to the next sub-system.
