Mechatronics Sorting and Buffering

Mechatronics Sorting and Buffering

Amatrol’s Mechatronics Sorting-Buffering Learning System (87-MS4) is training mobile workstation 4 of the 870 Mechatronics Learning System. The 87-MS4 station is a small Mechatronics system in itself with multiple, integrated technologies that can be used stand-alone or in combination with other stations. In efforts to protect workers and machines, industrial safety and operation are emphasized on all Amatrol Mechatronic stations.

The Sorting-Buffering training station teaches interfacing, problem solving, programming, sequencing and operation for sorting, queuing, flat belt conveyors, photoelectric sensors, and inductive sensors. This station performs the role of sorting parts by material type in the process of assembling a working industrial control valve.

The 87-MS4 is a mobile workstation with slotted work surface that contains an operator station, belt conveyor module, part sorting module, buffer module, proximity sensing module, parts set, a pneumatic distribution module as well as an electrical distribution module, an electro-pneumatic valve manifold, and a digital I/O interface module.
