MCE-510 Swivel Arm Module Didactic Equipment Mechatornics Training Equipment
Mod. MCE-510 transfers pieces from a modular station to the next one. It consists of a rotary pneumatic cylinder adjustable within a 180° angle. The transfer is performed by a vacuum suction cap connected to an ejection system controlled by an electrovalve. The limit switches of the cylinder are controlled by 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 • Operating a pneumatic rotary cylinder • Operating a “Pick / Place” unit with suction cup • Operating a bistable electrovalve • Operating a set of automated sensors • Electropneumatic positioning systems • 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, enables the 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 a MPC-18 module.
