Design of automatic control system of pneumatic handling manipulator based on PLC
To improve the operational efficiency of pneumatic handling robots in complex factory as-sembly lines,a PLC based automatic control system for pneumatic handling robots is designed in this pa-per.On the basis of analyzing the motion process of a universal pneumatic manipulator moving objects be-tween different positions,a hardware architecture of an automatic control system was designed,which in-cludes programmable logic controllers(PLC),servo motors,sensors,and interactive screens.Based on the motion process of the pneumatic manipulator,corresponding software control programs and interfaces were designed.The simulation experiment results demonstrate that the proposed automatic control system for pneumatic conveying robotic arms can stably meet the preset functional requirements of the experi-ment,with a high degree of automation.
