Description

MCE-740 Prismatic Pieces Feeding Module Educational Training Equipment Mechatronics Trainer Equipment

Mod. MCE-740 is used to distribute prismatic pieces. It has been designed to work with the conveyor module MCE-700. Pieces are expelled by a double-acting cylinder controlled by a 5/2-way electrovalve. The presence of pieces in the column is detected by a photoelectric sensor, whereas the position of the cylinder is detected by two magnetic sensors. The module is assembled on a sectioned aluminium base, and it can be easily moved around the laboratory.

TRAINING PROGRAM

• Fundamentals of Electro-pneumatics
• Piece distribution methods
• Operating an electrovalve
• Operating a set of automated sensors
• Operating a pneumatic cylinder
• PLC control
• Microprocessor control
