24V for PLC
24V Simulation and Training Models
The complete line of fischertechnik training models are available in 24V versions, utilizing 24V motors and components. These models are designed for use with most popular, industry standard PLCs, and allow users to create programming using the PLC language of their choosing. Besides models focusing on specific processes, such as color sorting lines and three axis robots, there are also a series of variations on a factory simulation, which unites several of these individual stations into a complete work cycle. There is even an IoT focused version of the factory, called "Training Factory Industry 4.0", where the processes can be monitored and controlled from a cloud based dashboard.
Production Line 24v
The fischertechnik production line 24V simulates a series of interlinked production steps.
At the beginning, the workpieces are loaded from a magazine onto a rotary indexing table with four stations using a pneumatic pusher. The rotary indexing table transports the workpieces step by step to the drilling and welding station, where the workpieces are processed. At the last station of the rotary indexing table, a vacuum suction gripper removes the processed workpieces and places them on a conveyor belt. This transports the workpieces to the palletizing unit, where 3 workpieces are collected and then pushed onto a pallet.
Bending Machine 24v
The fischertechnik bending machine 24V simulates the transportation and bending of workpieces.
The model can be used in either semi-automatic or automatic mode. In semi-automatic mode, the unbent workpieces are manually inserted into the transport carriage. In automatic mode, the transport carriage positions itself automatically under a magazine that provides the workpieces. The loaded carriage then transports the workpiece to the bending machine, where it is bent. The transport carriage then takes the bent workpiece to the removal point.
