FMS-200 stations
Each of the FMS-200 system stations carries out part of the process. Know more about the process carried out by each of the station and the specific technologies in each station.
FMS-201 - Body supply
In this station, the base which acts as the support to the workpiece is fed, its orientation is verified and, if correct it is moved to the pallet located in the transfer system. If the base orientation is incorrect the base will be rejected.
The troubleshooting simulation system is included, which generates up to 16 different breakdowns to be diagnosed by the user.
FMS-202 - Bearing selection/supply
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.
The troubleshooting simulation system is included, which generates up to 16 different breakdowns to be diagnosed by the user.
FMS-203 - Bearing hydraulic pressing
This phase of the process presses the bearing inserted in the previous station by a hydraulic ram. Press fitting is simulated to facilitate the subsequent disassembly of the components and their re-use. Nevertheless, all the elements comprising the module are completely industrial.
The lower part of the station contains all of the hydraulic equipment which is required to feed the press cylinder with high pressure oil.
The troubleshooting simulation system is included, which generates up to 16 different breakdowns to be diagnosed by the user.
FMS-204 - 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.
The different operations undertaken in this station are distributed around an index plate. The operations are: shaft feeding, shaft presence detection, verifying shaft position, positioning the shaft in the correct orientation, material detection, removal of an incorrect shaft and finally the insertion of the shaft into the assembly.
The troubleshooting simulation system is included, which generates up to 16 different breakdowns to be diagnosed by the user.
FMS-205 - Cover selection/supply
This station inserts a lid on the set of parts which have been assembled in the previous stations. There are 6 different types of lids: depending on the material (aluminium or nylon), colour (light or dark) and height (high or low). This variety offers the station more didactic options due to a whole series of verification and measuring operations that are carried out. The different operations undertaken in this station are distributed around an index plate.
The troubleshooting simulation system is included, which generates up to 16 different breakdowns to be diagnosed by the user.
FMS-206 - Screw selection/supply
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.
The troubleshooting simulation system is included, which generates up to 16 different breakdowns to be diagnosed by the user.
FMS-207 - Robotized screwing
The seventh FMS-200 station integrates robotics technology which is widely used in automated environments.
An industrial robot is used to screw in the four bolts supplied by the previous station. The robot has a tool attached with a pneumatic gripper and an electric screwdriver and the station table includes material stores (with capacity for 6 lids and 6 shafts). In addition to the screwing operation, the robot can also be used for assembly and dismantling operations, plus exchanging material between stores.
These applications support an extensive range of possible programs for the robot controller which significantly extends its didactic capacities.

FMS-208 - Automatic warehouse
This phase of the assembly process consists of the storage of finished products.
In FMS-200, the warehouse has been set up using a system based on three coordinate shafts, two of them servo-controlled (X-Y axis) and a third vertical pneumatic shaft (Z axis) for collection / deposit of the material.
There is an optional version that includes a colour touch screen operator terminal.
FMS-209 - Paint drying in oven
The paint drying phase is simulated using a polycarbonate oven. The workpiece is inserted into the oven which uses a bulb to simulate the paint drying process. Once this has finished, the product leaves the oven to go on to the next phase of the process. The system allows the user to modify the temperature value and the transit time of the assembly through the oven dependant on the requirements of the workpiece.
FMS-210 - Quality control using Artificial Vision
The incorporation of this station in the FMS-200 family provides the integration of the artificial vision technology which is in frequent use in automated productive processes for quality control. The product in process coming from the previous station is transferred to the inspection position in which an artificial vision camera examines a series of variables in two of the four bolts. The results obtained from the examined variables are used to perform quality control of the product in process.
The troubleshooting simulation system is included, which generates up to 16 different breakdowns to be diagnosed by the user.
Linear transfer
This is a rectangular transfer system through which the pallets containing the workpiece circulate around the stations. These pallets are provided with a binary identification system.
It allows the integration of up to a maximum of eight workstations which are easily and quickly connected.
