MCE-740 Prismatic Pieces Feeding Module Educational Equipment Mechatornics Training 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 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Modular unit assembled on a sectioned aluminium structure. It includes an I/O interface box with Ø 2 mm terminals that,besides working as control board for the module, enablesthe students to carry out electrical measurements on its components. The module can be operated using: • No. 1 PLC training panel mod. PLC-V8, or • No. 1 Arduino training panel mod. MPC-18 Power supply (24 Vcc) is provided by the PLC itself or using aMPC-18 module.
