Double conveyor belt segment, 24 V motor
Basic mechatronics module driven by a variable speed 24-V geared motor and complete with end-limit sensors and integrated PROFIBUS DP slave. Designed for basic experiments on a conveyor system or for incorporation into a complex mechatronics system for controlling the flow of materials. The conveyor belt conveys work pieces on carriers and can be used to link individual sub-systems. It is designed for connection to a PLC control system. It can be combined with other conveyor belts, ‘curve’ units or transfer junctions. IMS stations can be connected directly to the belt and jointly controlled via PROFIBUS.
