SR-MPS800 Modular Product System Mechatronics Training Equipment Teaching Equipment I. Equipment Overview Modern industry is the integration of computer, information technology, modern management techniques, advanced technology, it coversproduct design,production preparation, manufacturing execution and many other content, and have been one of theimportantpillars in nationalconstruction and social development. In order tostrengthen the students’ ability to face the challenges ofthe society, it is urgent to improve the theoreticallevel andpractical ability of mechatronics, photoelectric sensor, electrical automation and it has more understand practical significance to construct experimental platform of mechatronics flexible manufacturing systems as an important thing. SR-MPS800 modular product system is flexible, it include complextechnology and highly automatedsystem that organicallycombine themicroelectronics,computer information technology, control technology,machinery manufacturingand system engineering. Flexible manufacturingtechnology is the primary means which makes the modern machinery manufacturing fit market dynamic requirements and continual and fast update of products. It is the basisof advanced manufacturing technology. SR-MPS800 modular flexible manufacturing system is a set of teaching system which is complete,flexible,modular and extensible, its developmentandmanufacturing are according to the practical level of students, from simpleto complex, from parts towhole. It uses aluminumstructureas the basic operating platform of the system, and finish flexible manufacturingsystem of modern assemblyprocess by a variety ofmechanical drive simulation. It fully demonstrates the electrical control part of actualindustrial production, a variety ofsensors, configurationcontrol and Industrialbus of modern production in the system. SR-MPS800 modular product system is developed on the basis of Siemensindustrial automationPLCcontrol system. Themodular production line is flexible, it is a comprehensive training platform which is developed for advanced education and scientific research institutions, and it applies to the comprehensive application of technician who are dedicated in teaching and relevant profession in the mechatronics, networking, systematic, advanced manufacturing industry of variousinstitutions of higher learning. It can process extraction andenrichment on industrial equipment, and makes special design for training teaching activities, combines photo electric sensor,machines,electricity, pneumaticand hydraulic organically. The system can not only be used as training system of automationand network, but also can construct network platform by combined with subsystem, and make expand use in it. Most of the traditional teaching system use a single module equipment as a core for monitoring and control, this module can finish the implementation of some simple action, but it lacked complicated connection and information communication between modules, and it is difficult for teachers to know and direct the operation of every equipment in time, so it will be easy to appear “automation island effect” between the modules of equipment. With the continuous development of information technology, network teaching equipment has become the development direction. Meanwhile, variousproduction equipment anddetection systems in the industrial field haveformed anetworkcommunicationand management scheduling. So the studyofautomatednetwork communicationshas becomeaveryimportant partof automatedteaching. SR-MPS800 modular product system uses the automatednetwork training communicationas the main part, and organically combines every training content, such as electrician, electric traction, sensor technology, pneumatic technology, robot assembly, PLC, inverter,industrialautomation networks,assemblyand debugging of automated productionlineand so on. It realized the assessmentof comprehensiveabilityof students, improved the quality of teaching and the development capacity of knowledge. Flexible manufacturing technology specification for SR-MPS800 modular product system Flexible manufacturing technology combine various technology of programmed flexible manufacturing processes which is realized on all kinds of different shapes processing object. Flexible manufacturingtechnology is a technology-intensivetechnology group, the process technology which focus on flexibility and fit to multi- variety, small and medium-volume (includingsingle product) are all belong to flexible manufacturing technology. Flexibility can be described in two aspects. The first is the system ability to adapt to changes in the external environment, which can be measured by how much did the new products available to meet the requirements of the system. The second aspect isthe ability ofthe systemto adapt tointernal changes, it can be used in adisturbance(such asmachine failure) conditions, the ratio of the productivity expected value between this and non-interference can be used to measure flexible. "Soft"is relative to the"rigid", traditional "rigid" automation production line is mainly used to realizemass production of singlespecies. The advantage is that the productivity is high, since the equipment is fixed, the utilization rate of the equipment is also high, so the cost of single product is low. But the price is quite expensive and it can only process one or few similar components. If you want to receive other types of products, you have to adjust its structure and reconfigurethe elementsin the system, the workload and payment is always the same as build a new production line. The rigid high-volume manufacturingautomated productionline can only produce few kinds of product, and it is difficult to face the multi-variety and small and medium-volume production. Along with the social progress and theimprovement of living standards, the market need the production which is more characteristic, can satisfy the style that the customer need, and have various features. Fierce market competitionforced thetraditionalmass production methods to be changed, and it required thetraditionalproduction process of partsto be improved. Traditionalmanufacturing systemscan not meet the demand of multi-variety and small-volume production, it makes the flexibility of system more and more important to the exist of the system. With theera ofmass production is being replaced by the production which can adapt the market dynamic change, the viability andcompetitiveness of a manufacturingautomation system depend much on whether it can produce various of low cost and high quality products in a short development cycle. Flexibilityhas occupieda very importantposition. The flexibility mainly include: Machine flexibility When it is required to produce a range of different type of products, the machine can produce parts in different difficult level by changing with products. Technology flexibility First is the ability to adapt product or raw materials when the technology process is not changed. Second is the difficulty level of changing relevant technology in order to adapt the change of product or raw materials in the system. Product flexibility First is the ability of the system to produce new product economically and quickly when the product is updated and veered. Second is the inheritanceability andcompatibility of old product features when the product is updated. Maintenance flexible It uses various ways to inquire and process failure, in order to protect the ability of normal production. Production capacity flexible Whenproduction quantity is changed, the system can also havethe abilityto runeconomically. It is very important for the manufacturing system which organize production on the bases of the order. Extension flexibility When the production needs, it can expand system structure, add modules and constitute a larger system easily. Function flexibility The ability of produce the same range of products by different machines, materials and technology process, and the ability to produce the same product by using different product process. Flexible manufacturingsystemisa automated manufacturingsystem which integrated managed and control by computer and can efficient produce various small and medium-volume parts. It includes: More than one standardmanufacturing unit, a CNC machine tool which can loading and unloading workpiece automatically. Amaterial storagetransportation system, which can transport work pieces between the clamping work stations of the machine tool. MPSis a set ofprogrammablemanufacturing system with automaticmaterial handlingequipment, it can realize information integrationand logisticsintegration on the support of computer, and can process various parts with similar characteristicsand product process technology. modular product system sustains the following training content:
