FMS-204 SE I4.0 - Shaft selection/ supply

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.
