Additional Information for Educators and Administrators
This set can be used in the classes addressing the following topics: Computer Science, Mechanical Design, Robotics, Industrial Robotics, Practical Computer Programming and Practical Use of Robotics (Real World). This set is also suited for industrial/vocational training.
Specific concepts addressed with this set: Industrial robotic machines using pneumatic and vacuum technology.
Origin of Pneumatics: Ktesibios of Alexandria in Egypt, circa 260 BC, and his invention of a spring catapult utilizing a compressed air tension jack.
Fundamentals of Pneumatics: Creating movements with air—how pneumatic cylinders work.
Pressure: Air can be pressed together, creating pressure. Unit of pressure measurements is the Pascal.
Pressure =Force/Area, or p=F/A
Air Compressors: Creating and storing compressed air using a compressor. How a compressor functions.
Valves: The use of electro-magnetic valves to control the flow of air to a pneumatic cylinder. A short technical explanation of how this works.
Basics of Pneumatic Diagrams: Connections in pneumatics diagrams always labeled as follows:
P=Compressed air connection, A=Connection to the cylinder, R=Air vent.
Electronics and Pneumatics: Interplay of electrical and pneumatic switching. Examples of circuit diagrams with electrical and pneumatic parts, and their explanation.
Basic Unit: Construct the control unit, containing the compressor, ROBO TX Controller or ROBO Interface, and connect this to a computer with ROBO Pro programming software installed.
Actuators: Overview of actuators used.
Models:
Build a model of a conveyor belt with stacking machine. Program the model so that a workpiece in the stacking box is identified by a light barrier, after which a pneumatic cylinder pushes the workpiece onto the conveyor belt, which then starts to move and transports the piece to the end of the belt, after which the program stops. Modify the program to continuously move pieces from the stacking magazine onto the belt at fixed intervals, and to stop after the last piece has been loaded onto the belt.
Build a model of a machining station with defective part ejection.
Learn how the optical color sensor works. Use this to construct a color sorting system model that will sort pieces based on color.
Build a model of a machining station with vacuum pickup. Connect the electrical and pneumatic elements using circuit diagrams. Test the function of the lifting mechanism, then control the placement of the working materials into position. Next, determine how to create three positions for the swivel arm on the model to rotate to—first ‘workpiece pickup’, then ‘workpiece machining’, and finally ‘workpiece storage’.
Finally, construct a model of a card dealer and card sorter machine using electrical and pneumatic elements. Test the functioning of the vacuum pump in the raising and lowering of a card. Construct a program where the arm of the model deals three cards each to three different players from a stack of cards. Next, modify the program so that the program is interrupted if there are no more cards to deal, and will only continue if more cards are inserted. After this, students will create a program where the same model sorts cards out based on the color found on the card.
