Flexible Automation System (MAPS5)

This Modular Automation Production System (MAPS) is an exceptional system where no single unit /module in this system is static i.e. mod-ules can be configured into many number of grouped or stand-alone exercises.

Linear stacking modules contains base plates components. The capping module contains the top plate for assembly. The screwing modules contains the screws for the assembly. Sensor identifies the presence and type of part. The linear indexing module indexes to the next sta-tion, where it passes or rejects the part depending upon the type of material. The passed part is then indexed to next station where the capping takes place. Then a rotary transfer arm places the assembled part in the Rotary Table. The rotary table indexes to the screwing mod-ule for securing the two assembled components. Once screw is in place, the rotary table indexes to the stamping/ printing station. Final-ly the fully assembled part is placed on the conveyor by the linear pick & place.

All the modules are robust and standardized for flexible configuration. The system is supplied with complete PLC control module for easy plug-n-play functionality.

OPTIONAL MODULES AVAILABLE: Filling module, Drilling & Drill Depth Inspection System

Base Plate

Conveyor Linear Indexing Module

Pusher Module Capping Module

Linear Pick & Place Module

Screw Module

Dispensing Module Printing Module

Rotary Indexing Table Rotary Pick & Place Module

Air Supply Unit Valve Unit

The control system controls the entire operation of the MAPS. It has a control box with a PLC that is programmed suitably to con-trol the operation of each of the modules systematically so that the modules cooperate and work to execute specific processes. The system can also be used as PLC trainer and the students can learn PLC programming, wiring, etc.
