Implementación de una estación electro neumática de clasificación por material con banda transportadora utilizando LOGO V8.

Abstract

At present the classification of materials is used in many processes of both national and international industries, this activity is of great importance within an industrial system, which can be applied for example to separate fruits according to their quality, size , type and color, another type of processes in which it can be applied is the classification of bottles according to the texture and size when recycling is desired, however, if this activity is required to be autonomous, specialized equipment must be located that fully comply with the intended functions, this is why this project seeks to develop a material classification system considering the constitution of the same, the main brain will be formed by a LOGO V8, in the entrances of this will be located capacitive sensors and inductive, initially a sensor will detect the presence of the object at the beginning of the conveyor belt turning on a DC motor in order to start the transport of the material to the different sorting trays, in the path that runs through the object will be located two more sensors, which will determine the constitution of the same and the type of material of the which is conformed, these signals are processed and immediately signals are sent through the different outputs of the LOGO to activate the solenoid valves, these in turn will be in charge of controlling the output or the return of the rod of the pneumatic cylinder so that the object falls by the classification trays; It is important to take into account that the operator can start or stop the process at the time he wishes, by means of the start or stop button located in the system.
