Product Details

This trainer is designed to teach the principles of precision linear motion control using a stepper motor integrated with a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), simulating a common industrial automation task. It allows students to program and execute precise positioning sequences, incorporating feedback from sensors like proximity switches and rotary encoders. The system features a ball screw mechanism driven by a stepper motor, providing high-precision linear movement over a 310 mm travel distance. It is equipped with three proximity sensors, two limit switches, and a rotary encoder for various positioning control methods. The core of the control system is a Siemens S7-200 PLC, with all input and output terminals brought out to safety sockets for easy and safe wiring by students. The entire setup is mounted on a robust aluminum profile frame with a clear, engraved panel. Its primary applications are in mechatronics, industrial automation, and electrical engineering education for teaching motion control and PLC programming. The key benefit is the practical, hands-on integration of mechanical drive systems, sensors, and industrial control logic, enabling students to develop and troubleshoot real-world automation programs for precise robotic positioning.
