  • Part Feeding and Detecting Training System – MAP-201

    SMC’s MAP-200s consist of a series of individual tabletop mechatronics training systems that carry out a specific and different material handling task commonly seen in industrial settings.

    Robust, Rugged, and Versatile, these tabletop hands-on training systems are designed to teach students a wide array of industrial automation – Pneumatics, Electrical, Industrial Safety and Automation Processes, PLC Programming, Sensors, and Troubleshooting!

    MAP-201: Body Supply Part Feeder + Detector/Ejector

    The process: A gravity feeder houses the parts in a column. Each part has a non-symmetrical interior housing and is ejected by a pneumatic cylinder. The correct orientation of the part is verified using a cylinder with a plunger. After verification, an oval section pneumatic cylinder moves the work-piece to the final position. Otherwise, a single acting cylinder removes the part via the evacuation ramp.

  • Vacuum-Held Material Handling Training System – MAP-202

    SMC’s MAP-200s consist of a series of individual tabletop mechatronics training systems that carry out a specific and different material handling task commonly seen in industrial settings.
