FMS-200 SE I4.0 stations

In this station, the bearing is positioned in the base housing. To extend didactic options, bearings with different heights can be selected. To do this, a bearing height measurement is taken using a linear potentiometer. If the bearing height is not correct, it will be rejected. Furthermore, this station includes the following Industry 4.0 technologies: - Augmented reality: this allows selecting specific points of interest on certain items in order to obtain their technical information. - HMI: this station includes an HMI screen. - Identification systems (RFID): the antenna for reading/writing the RFID tag located on the transport pallet is located in the station's transfer section. The troubleshooting simulation system is included, which generates up to 16 different breakdowns to be diagnosed by the user.

In this fourth workstation, the shaft is assembled onto the workpiece coming from the previous station. There are two types of shafts depending on their material: aluminium and nylon. This increases the number of possible finished products, while also increasing the didactic capacities of the FMS-200 SE I4.0. The different operations undertaken in this station are distributed around an index plate. The operations are: shaft feeding, measuring shaft height, positioning the shaft in the correct orientation, material detection, removal of an incorrect shaft and finally the insertion of the shaft into the assembly. Furthermore, this station includes the following Industry 4.0 technologies: - Safety: for the purpose of offering machinery safety concepts, a transparent safety guard is fitted on the side and front, as well as a flat sensor camera at the top which, together with the safety relay, enables the aforementioned technology to run. - HMI: this station includes an HMI screen. - Identification systems (RFID): the antenna for reading/writing the RFID tag located on the transport pallet is located in the station's transfer section. The troubleshooting simulation system is included, which generates up to 16 different breakdowns to be diagnosed by the user.

The sixth station supplies and inserts four screws in the base of the workpiece. Given that feeding is only carried out at only one point, an additional mechanism has been included in the transfer system to carry out successive rotations of the pallet. This element is comprised of a lifting cylinder and rotary actuator. Furthermore, this station includes the following Industry 4.0 technologies: - IO-Link Smart devices: three limit switch sensors, one gripper sensor and the solenoid valve block. - HMI: this station includes an HMI screen. - Identification systems (RFID): the antenna for reading/writing the RFID tag located on the transport pallet is located in the station's transfer section. The troubleshooting simulation system is included, which generates up to 16 different breakdowns to be diagnosed by the user.

This station conducts a quality inspection of the finished product, in addition to storing and/or dispatching it. The product quality inspection will be conducted by means of an artificial vision camera installed in the transfer. The storage and dispatch of finished products is performed by a system based on three coordinate axes, two of which are servo-controlled (X-Y axes), and a third pneumatic, vertical axis (Z axis) responsible for picking up the material. Furthermore, this station includes the following Industry 4.0 technologies: - Artificial vision: an artificial vision camera will perform the product quality inspection. - Safety: for the purpose of offering machinery safety concepts, a transparent safety guard is fitted on the side, front and at the top which, along with the safety relay, allows the aforementioned technology to run. - Electric actuators: two electric actuators, in conjunction with one pneumatic actuator, will store and dispatch the finished product. - HMI: this station includes an HMI screen. - Identification systems (RFID): the antenna for reading/writing the RFID tag located on the transport pallet is located in the station's transfer section.
