SAI0124 - FMS-201: BODY SUPPLY STATION WITH Omron PLC

– QUANTITY: 1.

The function of the station is to feed the base which acts as the support to a turning
mechanism, and move it to the pallet located in the transfer system. The station
process starts as soon as a pallet stops in front of the station.

The part to be assembled is a 65x65x32mm anodised aluminium block with an


opening at the top, 32mm diameter, and another opening at the bottom, 28mm
diameter, which is used to detect whether the position is the right one or not.
The station is formed by a 900x540x900mm height-adjustable aluminium
structure, on which the components used to perform the process are mounted,
which include a block of control solenoid valves in the case of pneumatic
components and a no material indication lamp.

The electrical panel is on the front, from which the station is controlled. A magneto-
thermal switch is installed.

It also includes the control keypad, with the following buttons and indicator lights:
start, stop and reset buttons, continuous/single cycle selector, disconnecting
switch, endorsed emergency stop button and error warning light.

On one side of the station there is an air treatment unit comprising a 5µm filter
with a pressure controller, pressure gauge, manual 3/2 stop valve.

The station comprises the following modules:

- Base feeder:
A gravity feeder stores the bases. A pneumatic cylinder with a pusher adapted
to the size of the base extracts one of these. This module has the following
components and characteristics:
- Storage capacity: 12 bases
- Actuators:
- Double acting pusher cylinder, Ø16 and 100mm stroke, with speed
controllers and initial and final position switches. Controlled by a single 5/2
solenoid valve.
- Sensors:
- Auto switches, Reed type.
- Inductive detector to detect a shortage of material in the warehouse.
- Position verification:
The base includes housing to add the rest of the components, which must face a
particular direction. A cylinder with a cylindrical part at the tip moves towards the
top of the base to verify that the base is facing the right way. This module has the
following components and characteristics:
- Actuators:
- Double acting cylinder, Ø12 and 50mm stroke, with speed controllers and
final position switch. Controlled by a single 5/2 solenoid valve.
- Sensors:
- Auto switch, Reed type.

- Displacement to the assembly point:


A cylinder with a pusher at the tip is used to position the base at the point from
which it is loaded on the pallet. The cylinder is rectangular to avoid rotating the
pusher. This module has the following components and characteristics:
- Actuators:
- Rectangular pusher cylinder, Ø25 and 200mm stroke, with speed
controllers and final position switch. Controlled by a single 5/2 solenoid valve.
- Sensors:
- Auto switch, Reed type.

- Incorrect part rejection module:


If the base position verification module detects that it is incorrect, a single acting
cylinder drives the base onto a stainless steel ramp, in order to leave the path
unobstructed for the other parts. This module has the following components and
characteristics:
- Actuators:
- Single-acting ejecting cylinder, Ø10, 15mm stroke, with speed controller.
Controlled by a single 3/2 solenoid valve.

- Insertion of the base in the pallet:


A handling device with two shafts moves the base to the pallet. Each shaft
contains a cylinder with parallel rods.
The terminal element is a vacuum holding platform with four vacuum pads to solve
possible height misalignments. This module has the following components and
characteristics:
- Actuators:
- Horizontal shaft: - Parallel-rod cylinder, Ø20 and 150 mm stroke, with
speed controllers and initial and final position switches. Controlled by a double
5/2 solenoid valve.
- Vertical shaft: - Parallel-rod cylinder, Ø15 and 50 mm stroke, with speed
controllers and initial and final position switches. Controlled by a double 5/2
solenoid valve.
- Holding plate: 4 buffer vacuum pads, Ø16, with vacuum ejector. controlled
by a single 3/2 solenoid valve.
- Sensors:
- Auto switches, Reed type.
- PNP output vacuum pressure switch.

- Breakdown generation system:


The station has the possibility of generating up to 16 breakdowns or malfunctions.
For this purpose a box is assembled on the side of the station structure, inside
which there are 16 switches to activate the same number of breakdowns. When
a switch is activated a breakdown occurs in one of the station components. To
access these switches, the box lid must be opened, which can be locked.
- Electrical control panel:

All of the pneumatic cables and tubing are properly identified and labelled at both
ends.

- Mounted on a 550x400mm mesh


- Accessible electrical connection terminal box with power input and coded I/O.
- It includes 220VAC/24VDC power supply.

- 1 control PLC Omron NX wired and programmed to operate the module with 14
digital inputs and 10 digital outputs connected to the hardware.
- Industrial communication via standard Ethernet for communication with the other
modules.
