RESTORATION OF A PNEUMATICALLY CONTROLLED END-OF-ARM-TOOLING (EOAT) FOR CLASSROOM TEACHING Trent Lott and Chase Keller Advisor: Dr. Mohammad Saadeh Class: ET 493-01 Class Professor: Dr. Cris Koutsougeras Senior Design Southeastern LA University Computer Engineering Technology
2
What Is it?
3
Working System at Intralox: How the End Of Arm Tool (EOAT) worked: It would slide into the mold, then extend the vacuum cups to grab the next part, lift it up so the next section could be molded to it to create a continuous belt. Then slide back out so the mold could close and start the process all over again.
4
Purpose: To restore the EOAT and learn the functionality of the entire system. This project will provide our ET program with an extra resource to better prepare our graduates for real work scenarios.
5
Components: (End-Of-Arm-Tooling) EOAT Allen Bradley MicroLogix 1200 PLC Vacuum (Undecided Model) Air Compressor Wooden Frame
6
Building the Frame:
7
MicroLogix 1200 PLC by Allen Bradley
8
Simple Ladder Logic
9
Problems With The Vacuum Three phase Vacuum Pump is not adequate for lab use. Looking to get a single phase Vac.
10
Valve Pack: For controlling the air supply to individual components of the system.
11
Deliverables: October 2013: Design a frame to construct the End-Of-Arm-Tooling (EOAT) that was donated by Intralox. November 2013: Build the frame and fix the EOAT on it. Acquire Allen Bradley Software (RsLogix 500) and learn the syntax. Identify the sensors, actuators, wiring diagrams, PLC connections, the air compressor, and power requirements to operate the EOAT. January 2014: Order missing parts (vacuum pump, sensors, pneumatic tubes, pneumatic regulators). February 2014): Connect sensors and actuators to PLC and train the system. March 2014: Connect vacuum and air compressor to PLC and actuators. April 2014: Test the system, document all components, and prepare a user manual that describes the operating mechanism.
