| Rubber industry as an economic branch of the daily life in close contact with thepeople, which is an important industry people’s livelihood, the quality of efining rubberproduction line running directly affect the quality of rubber products, cost and efficiency,in order to meet batch production of high-quality, low-cost high efficiency requirements,production line control system for mixing the key technology research and improvement isparticularly important. Especially refining rubber production line reclaimer feeding robotcontrol problems is the key due to the research and improvement, the robot is thetransmission mechanism which is an important part, from a certain position and orientation,according to a certain trajectory passed over the clamping mechanism the material anotherlocation and orientation. As the pneumatic manipulator based on the air as the medium,with the use, easy maintenance, safe, reliable, low cost, long life and other characteristics,the pneumatically controlled robotic mechanism is used by a lot of occasions.This paper introduces the basic functions of a pneumatic manipulator. On this basis,the main research is to design and pneumatic manipulator improvements, as well as acache problem cylinders. According to the production line mixing process, the proposedVB, PLC technology, pneumatic technology to achieve the system design requirements,PLC, motors and other equipment selection; connection method and communicationprotocol design PLC and VB, PLC and enforcement agencies, and the cylinder controlcircuit diagram. On the basis of PLC and pneumatic control technology constitutes apneumatic manipulator experimental platform, used by the control method for robotcontrol systems were improved to make it function more perfect, run more precise andreasonable. The main function of the robot is to achieve a workpiece handling, which threecylinders controlled by the PLC to achieve horizontal and vertical robotic movement andthe telescopic movement of the pneumatic clamping mechanism, were completed usingpneumatic energy used in the production of the workpiece to crawl, place and otheractions to achieve the energy saving features. Improved robotic positioning system successfully solved the original pneumaticmanipulator haul involved positioning allowed and the operation overshoot problem. |
