CIM 22 Flexible Production Plant with 10 stations
CIM 22 Flexible Production Plant with 10 stations
The system can be used for the fully automatic manufacture of a three-part workpiece for up to eight different end products. CIM 22 consists of the stations sorting, assembly, processing, testing, storage, disassembly, workpiece transfer with robot, lathe and milling machine. The stations can be used individually or combined into a single system. For the transport of workpieces to the station a conveyor belt system is used to transport the workpiece carrier on dual conveyor belts. A robot is used for the transfer of the workpieces from the lathe/milling machine to the IMS station.
With this training system industrial processes involving complex manufacturing can be realistically simulated. Industrial type actuators and sensors are used exclusively. Industrial-type PLC systems with Profibus and decentralised periphery are also used for the control of the production line. Optional expansions of additional, modern, industrial communications systems are planned. The system promotes skills training while working within a team and empowers the students to acquire on their own the basics needed to master machining and mechatronic systems.
Each station is designed so that starting with simple automation and machining operations and sequences the student proceeds step by step to acquire the skills and know-how needed to create a complex automation program. The standardised interfaces permit the use of different industrial PLC control units.
