Production line
Every lamp is somebody's order.
A customer's design goes in; a finished, boxed lamp comes out. Laser cutting and engraving, assembly, inspection, packing and coding on one conveyor loop, fed by an automated warehouse and a mobile robot.
Follow one order.
Nine stops from a customer's design to a boxed lamp back on the shelf.
Order. A customer's design and text arrive at the control and display center, which schedules the job and follows it around the loop.
Built from industrial equipment.
Real machines
The lasers, robots, controllers, vision systems and sensors are industrial products, so the line can take on outside production work as well as teaching.
Modular by design
Every station stands on casters with leveling feet. Use one on its own for a lesson, or join them all into the full line.
A digital twin
The whole line exists in simulation. Students assemble and commission it virtually first, then move to the real machines.
Four zones
Storage and logistics, the production area, a digital-twin teaching area, and the control and display center.
What students do on it.
Mechanical, electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic, robotics and controls work, grouped by what a technician actually touches.
Controls. PLC programming, HMI screens, fieldbus and industrial networking, sensors and detection.
