Please observe the following instructions to start the demo sequence of the Compact Trainer I4.0.

  • Start-up prerequisite
  • No workpieces at the start of the conveyor belt
  • Magazines filled with workpieces
  • Initial settings
  • Cylinders retracted
  • Conveyor motor off
    • Sequence
    • 1
      If a workpiece is detected at the beginning of the conveyor it transported to the RFID reader in the creep speed mode, and is stopped. The parameter record for the demo work order is loaded to work order memory (see sample parameter record 3).
    • 2
      The unfinished roller is transported to the drilling module and is stopped at the module's light barrier. The drilling process is executed once.
    • 3
      When machining has been completed, the workpiece is transported to the insertion module and is stopped at a defined position by the flat stopper cylinder. The steel hub is removed from storage by the insertion module and is precisely inserted into the unfinished roller.
    • 4
      The workpiece is stopped at the RFID writer/reader and status and timestamps are written to its memory.
    • 5
      The finished product is transported to the end of the conveyor up to the light barrier and the conveyor belt is stopped.
    • 6
      If the demo sequence is not interrupted, the workpiece is returned to the beginning of the conveyor after 7 seconds.
    • 7
      The workpiece is stopped again at the beginning of the conveyor and the demo sequence is started over after an additional 7 seconds.
    • Starting the sequence
    • 1
      Check power supply and compressed air supply.
    • 2
      Remove workpieces at transfer points between modules and from the conveyor before manual reset.
    • 3
      The gravity-feed magazine for the insertion module must be filled with 10 steel bearing hubs.
    • 4
      At least 7 but no more than 10 aluminum bearing hubs must be loaded into the left gravity-feed magazine at the manual workstation.
    • 5
      At least 7 but no more than 10 POM bearing hubs (black plastic) must be loaded into the right gravity-feed magazine.
    • 6
      Start the resetting process. The resetting process is carried out after clicking the RESET button.
    • 7
      Start the station s work sequence. The process is started after clicking the Demo button.
    • 8
      Place a workpiece onto the belt at the beginning of the conveyor (between the light barrier s emitter and receiver).
    • Notes
    • The demo sequence can be stopped at any time by pressing the emergency stop button or by clicking the STOP button.
    • The workpiece may only be removed from the conveyor belt after it has been stopped.
    • The simulated sequence without specifying any work order data in product memory can be started by clicking the DEMO button.
