AE-PLC-CF Sorting Workstation

The "AE-PLC-CF" is a sorting workstation commanded by a PLC, which identifies the color and the type of the material of the input pieces and classifies them into three different places.

The "AE-PLC-CF" workstation is designed as a modular system to facilitate the understanding of the unit. The main components are:

• The PLC: is composed by the CPU PLC unit and all the extra modules needed to perform a correct working of the workstation.
• The control panel: with start/stop button, emergency pushbutton, reset button, light indicators to show current state of the process, etc.
• The pneumatic circuit: it contains the required solenoid valves, filters and regulators to assure the correct working and safety of the unit.
• The workstation: it is composed by real industrial components used by the industrial sorting systems such as inductive sensors, reflective optical sensors, conveyor system, pneumatic actuators, etc.

The "AE-PLC-CF" is an independent workstation that can work alone and/or in conjunction with other workstations to make up a complete Flexible Manufacturing system*.
