AUTOMATE-200 - Welcome to the world of automation
The didactic equipment based on a recycling plant that allows the easy and intuitive learning of the basic principles of automation
AUTOMATE-200 - Welcome to the world of automation
AUTOMATE-200 is SMC International Training’s response to the increasing demand for the introduction of a technological culture in training centers.
Using a recycling plant for solid urban waste as a reference, a fully modular design system has been developed for a training environment. The integration of the technologies in automated processes brings familiarization to the user of this fascinating world.
With this system, the student uses an integrated and motivating context to become familiar with technologies such as pneumatics, sensors, electric motors, PLCs, etc., in an enjoyable and intuitive way. Using completely industrial components we develop skills in analysis, troubleshooting, designing, creating technical documentation, setting up/commissioning, understanding technical documentation, operation and programming.

AUTOMATE-200 versions
AUTOMATE-200 includes up to ten functional blocks that can produce an infinite number of configurations, emulating different processes and making it possible to perform an endless number of activities with different levels of difficulty.
The raw material used in the process includes parts with different colours (light/ dark), materials (plastic/ metal) and shapes (with or without hole). During the last phase of the process, the parts are sorted and stored in containers.
AUTOMATE-200 is available in 2 different versions:
- **AUTOMATE-200B - Mobile version**.
- **AUTOMATE 200C - Compact version**.
With this system you could...
Technologies vs Skills
AUTOMATE-200 comes up with different practical activities targeting skills in the technologies featuring in the table.
Sensors
A sensor is a device, module, machine, or subsystem that detects events or changes in its environment and sends the information to other electronics, frequently a computer processor. With advances in micromachinery and easy-to-use microcontroller platforms, the uses of sensors have expanded beyond the traditional fields of temperature, pressure and flow measurement.
Programmable Controlers
An electronic control system and associated instrumentation used for industrial process control. Such as, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, or DCSs, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
Manipulator
It is the part of the robot that comes into contact with the parts when moving them, holding them or generating measurements.
Pneumatics
Within physics, pneumatics is part of the mechanical branch and studies the balance and movement of gaseous flows. It is also the technology that uses compressed air as a mode of transmission of the energy necessary to move and operate mechanisms.
Vacuum
"A vacuum is space devoid of matter. The word is derived from the Latin adjective vacuus (neuter vacuum) meaning ""vacant"" or ""void"". An approximation to such vacuum is a region with a gaseous pressure much less than atmospheric pressure. In industry, vacuum allows a temporary bond to be generated between the machine and the workpiece. This makes it possible to move light elements in production."
Electric Motors
An electric motor is a device that turns electrical energy into mechanical rotational energy through the action of magnetic fields generated in its coils. They are electric rotating machines composed of a stator and a rotor.
Automated Systems
Automated systems are computer-based systems that perform tasks without human intervention or assistance. They are designed to operate automatically and continuously, often in response to predefined triggers or conditions. The use of automation has become increasingly popular across various industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, finance, transportation, and more.
