This layout is designed to provide hands on experience on CNC Machines, Completely integrated manufacturing as well as industrial robot. Once this system is installed in any organization / institution, participants can be trained on not only latest CNC / FMS / CIM technology but also on latest industrial robots. That way, there is no need to have a separate lab for robotics training.
This layout consists of following major equipment / software:-
- CNC Turning Center
- CNC Milling (Vertical Machining) Center
- Automatic Storage and Retrieval System with linear transfer station (36 cells)
- Industrial Robot with 6 axes and minimum reach of 1400mm with 10KG payload capacity
- Gantry with Linear motion guideways for robot movement (7th axis) with minimum travel of 5 meter
- Industrial SCADA for communications as well as control of entire system
- 3D Simulation as well as design software (Factory design) with OPC UA connectivity (30 seats)
- Central control station with industrial PLC for entire system connectivity (Industry 4.0 ready)
- Movable Control pendant with touch screen HMI (8 meter)
This layout is designed to make sure that each and every machine / software can be operated either in individual mode or in integration mode. Necessary preventive measures are provided to make sure that there is no risk of accident even when the system is operated by the students / trainee participants.
Participants can change the entire process through SCADA. In case if they want to go back to factory settings, they can install the backup within seconds to make sure that the system is back in original operating condition. This feature gives necessary freedom to participants as well as instructors to try different programming techniques in CIM setup.
Participants can be trainer on following aspects with this (Layout 1) of Computer Integrated Manufacturing System (CIM) / Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS).
- Computer Integrated Manufacturing with SCADA and Industrial 6 axes Robot
- CNC Turning Center Training
- CNC Milling Center Training
- Industrial Robot Training
