Abstract: This paper
describes modification of the workpiece
supply on Festo
Modular Automation Production System (MAPS). The old one uses double
feeder station. The workpieces is stacked on the gravity feed magazine and
feeded by pneumatic cylinder. This station
is controlled by
Siemenns S7-300 and
programmed by Simatic Manager
V5.3. The feeder is constrained by the number of the workpieces that stack
on the gravity
feed magazine. The
design of the feed
magazine just allow 12
workpieces stack on it. To
make the feeder continue, the
workpiece supply is modified
by adding a
conveyor system on
feeder station. This
system consist of drive and driven pulleys that connected by a belt. The structure of the conveyor is
made from acrylic, the pulleys is made from allumunium, and the belt is made
from cloth.The conveyor
is driven by
a 5 Volt DC motor
with gear transmision. This
new feeder system
coul supply workpiece
on the MAPS continuously and run using
Ladder Diagram. This System
also reduce the force that need
to feed the
workpiece from 17,78
N to 6,01
N. So, the
new system is more effective than the old one.
