Design of Material Sorting Workstation Based on Digital Twin
Regarding the low efficiency and high error rate of manual material sorting in the manufacturing industry,a material sorting digital twin workstation based on NX MCD was designed.A mechanical virtual model and motion attributes of the material sorting workstation was built in NX MCD,a PLC logic control program was written in Siemens TIA Portal,and the mapping and communication between the virtual model and physical entities of the digital twin system were achieved through OPC UA communication,ultimately realizing the virtual-real synchronization operation of material sorting.The experimental results show that the material sorting workstation achieved a high degree of consistency with real sorting actions by simulating virtual actions of actual operations,reduced the risk of on-site debugging and provided solid technical support for actual production activities.
