AMR With Industrial Automation Station And COBOT
Hytech Didactic AMR Training cell is designed to provide hands on experience to students on industrial AMR applications and its integration with industrial automation components such as COBOT, PLC – HMI and Vision System.
AMR is equipped with a Lidar sensor and programmed with ROSS. Automation station is a separate unit which is programmed and operated with Siemens PLC and HMI. AMR is mounted with a six axes Cobot and a vision system for efficient pick up of jobs.
This setup is integrated with Mechatronics Concept Designer software for remote commissioning and process simulation using digital twin.
Automation station is a mechatronics based station designed to carry out colour based and weight based sorting of components. Once the sorting is completed, AMR is supposed to transport sorted job to desired position with the help of COBOT and Vision system.
Hytech Didactic AMR Training cell is designed to provide hands on experience to students on industrial AMR applications and its integration with industrial automation components such as COBOT and PLC – HMI.
This training cell mainly consists of following major components:
1. AMR equipped with a 6 axes COBOT mounted on the top
2. Automation cell equipped with Colour based sorting and vision based sorting with direct integration with AMR
User is expected to carry out programming of not only AMR but also COBOT and industrial automation cell through PLC and HMI. User is also expected to integrate AMR and COBOT with Automation cell.
| Process | |
|---|---|
| 1 | User should carry out automated sorting process of jobs on automation station based on their colour or on their weight. |
| 2 | Once the sorting is completed, signal should be passed on to the AMR |
| 3 | AMR should then travel to the automation station from its parking bay |
| 4 | With the help of COBOT mounted on AMR, user should pick up the job from the automation station |
| 5 | AMR should travel to its destination and place the job on predefined location |
| 6 | Entire process should be demonstrated and virtually simulated using a digital twin software on EnMechatronics concept designer or similar simulation software |
