Overview

The HAS-200 system reproduces a production process with a high level of automation which helps to develop the professional capacities required in diverse sectors (automotive, semiconductors, food, pharmaceutical, etc.).

Aspects such as aesthetics, user motivation and the development of transversal skills have also been taken into account in the conception and design process. At university level, the HAS-200 system represents a powerful development platform for research projects.

Key Features:

  • Reproduces a real production process
  • Powerful development platform for research projects
  • Fully modular system
  • Allows manufacturing of 19 different products
  • Control cabinet
  • 3D supervisor application included
  • All modules have an online mode

Technical Specifications

The Product Process

HAS-200 allows the user to manufacture 19 different products. The raw material includes containers with four types of label (red, blue, yellow and multi-coloured). Each label has a bar code to identify the product throughout the process.

Varying quantities of “beads” are poured into these containers, enabling the combination of 19 different “recipes”. Once the requested quantity has been filled, the containers are covered with a lid and a label is added that includes the manufacturing date, etc. The product is then sent to the dispatch station or warehouses.

Within the process, both the material weight and height is measured. These two variables are analysed by Statistical Process Control (SPC) for decision-making and will be stored in the database for generation of logs, etc.

Stations

HAS-201: Multi-coloured container feeding
This station supplies the system with empty containers to be filled with multicoloured beads in the production stations

HAS-202, 203 & 204: Production
The production stations perform the feeding, filling and weighing of the blue (HAS-202), yellow (HAS-203) and red (HAS-204) containers, respectively. This also enables filling the multi-coloured containers coming from station HAS-201

HAS-205 & 206: Checking
These two stations have to measure the height of the raw material contained in the containers. The HAS-205 station uses a linear encoder for measuring, whilst the HAS-206 station takes the measurement using a linear potentiometer

HAS-207: Lid positioning
In this station the lid is positioned on the container and a label is printed with the manufacturing date and/or other information in order to identify the final product.

HAS-208: Vertical Storage
This station makes it possible to store containers, either semi-manufactured or as a finished product. It can hold up to 81 containers. The storage cells are arranged vertically.

HAS-209: Horizontal Storage
This station stores containers, either semi-manufactured or as a finished product. It can hold up to 56 containers. The storage cells are arranged horizontally

HAS-210: Palletizing
This station removes the final product from the process, placing it in two ramps for palletizing and dispatch

HAS-211: Raw material store
This station allows the storage of raw material: containers, lids and “pearls” in different colours: blue, yellow and red

HAS-212: Recycling station
This station classifies the mixed raw material used in HAS-200 according to the colour.

Control Cabinet
This includes the general air supply and electric network, general emergency and switch the Ethernet network

 

All the stations have the following common elements: Power supply, anodised aluminium structure, control keypad, solenoid valve block, labels for cables, electric connection terminals, speed controllers, three-colour indication light, container passage stoppers, bar code reader, manual air cut-off valve, Ethernet communication, conveyor belt with DC motor, queue detection photocell, control PLC* and user manual and practice manual.

*Opciones: PLC Omron, Allen Bradley o Siemens.

 

HAS-200 is fully modular system of up to 11 workstations, a raw material store station and the control cabinet. Each workstation has a section of conveyer belt which allows great flexibility in layout design. All the stations have a control panel/ keypad as well as a three- colour indicator tower and a top-of-the-range PLC which controls in manual or integrated mode. The connection between the station and the management system is via an Ethernet network that enables great speed in the data flow and standardisation on a worldwide level.

Highly Automated System overview

HAS-200 Training System (Highly Automated System). HAS-200 has been devised based on the training requirements in industries with a high level of automation. Its versatility and attractive design allow the reproduction/emulation of the operation of a real factory, thus allowing the study of different scenarios.

3Dsupra

3D supervisor for HAS-200

One of the applications included in the HAS-200 training equipment is the 3D supervisor, 3Dsupra. This video shows how this application works in Teaching mode (disconnected from the real system), allowing the simulation of the on-screen movement. This video also shows the On-line mode working (connected to HAS-200 system), which allows the real system supervision and operation.
