Interlinked production steps are an integral part of modern assembly automation. The simulation of realistic production processes is helpful in the efficient planning and programming of such an assembly line. The Production Line 24V from fischertechnik is used for this purpose. The models are ideal for learning PLC programming in a realistic and safe learning environment.
The fischertechnik Production Line 24V is the ideal training model for in-company and inter-company training and higher education. Trainees, students and apprentices develop lasting learning experiences on the physical training model.
To begin with, the workpieces are loaded from a magazine onto a rotary indexing table with four stations using a pneumatic pusher. The rotary indexing table transports the workpieces step by step to the drilling and welding station, where the workpieces are processed. At the last station of the rotary indexing table, a vacuum suction gripper removes the processed workpieces and places them on a conveyor belt. This transports the workpieces to the palletising unit, where three workpieces are collected and then pushed onto a pallet.
The practice-orientated approach succeeds thanks to a comprehensive didactic concept in PLC programming. It introduces learners step by step to working with programmable logic controllers. The content of the accompanying learning material includes, for example, creating a sequence description in the GRAFCET specification language, reading and using a circuit diagram, programming in a function block diagram or structured text and commissioning the training model. At the end of the course, the learner will be able to wire and programme the Produktion Line 24V independently. They will build up expertise in a safe, yet realistic environment, which will be used for real machine programming and commissioning. Through the hands-on approach of this training model, participants develop not only a deep understanding of PLC programming, but also the ability to handle complex control tasks independently. The model promotes hands-on learning, creativity and problem-solving skills, optimally preparing participants for the demands of industrial practice.
The simulation models are supplied already built with the appropriate programming and didactic concept.
