Description

A standard set of educational equipment “Automated line for dosing and packaging of bulk materials” AL-DUSM-10LR-01 is intended for studying the principles of operation and setting up automatic lines for the technological cycle of dosing and packaging of bulk products. Consists of a teaching and research stand, software and teaching materials. The stand allows laboratory work to be carried out by a group of 2-4 people. Plastic containers up to 0.2 liters with plastic lids are used as containers for bulk materials. The stand is made on a single frame structure and includes: – a frame made of steel profile, with dimensions no more than 2000×750×1800; – bunker for bulk materials; – linear conveyor with adjustable speed; – a device for gripping a plastic container, implemented using electro-pneumatic automation and ensuring installation of the container on the conveyor; – a device for dispensing bulk materials according to the weight of the incoming product; – sensors for monitoring the position of containers; – a packaging device made on the basis of pneumatic cylinders and a pneumatic suction cup, providing the ability to close containers with lids; – a receiving table onto which containers filled and covered with lids exit the conveyor; – programmable logic controller; – personal computer (laptop) with software for performing laboratory work and programming the controller.
The stand provides the following laboratory work:
1. Studying the structure of the automatic line;
2. Study of the principle of operation of devices that ensure the operation of an automatic line;
3. Studying methods of programming logic controllers;
4. Study of ways to control pneumatic actuators using a controller;
5. Conveyor speed control;
6. Study of the product dosage system, reading the characteristics of the dispenser;
7. Programming the controller to control the supply of containers to the conveyor;
8.Programming the controller to control dosing;
9. Programming the controller to control the lid closing device;
10.Writing a program for a controller to control an automated line.
