DOBOT Magician PLC Solution Kit

Shake hands with the future!

What is the DOBOT Magician?

DOBOT Magician is a multifunctional desktop robotic arm for practical training education. Installed with different end-tools, DOBOT Magician can realize interesting functions such as 3D printing, laser engraving, writing, and drawing. It supports secondary development by 13 extensible interfaces and over 20 programming languages, which really makes your creativity and imagination increase without any limitation. As the good performance both in hardware design and software application, DOBOT Magician has won the CES 2018 Innovation Award and iF DESIGN AWARD 2018.

The PLC Solution system can be composed of a main control module, a detection and a sorting module, an industrial manipulator module, a processing station module, a material storage, and a transportation module, and so on. It can quickly adapt to the transformation of processing objects and at the same time, it can train students of relevant majors to realize industrial networking and communication technologies, and to use modern knowledge and technology synthetically. The Magician PLC Solution allows the next generation to gain the necessary abilities and experience in intelligent manufacturing related work.
The DOBOT Magician PLC Solution Kit consists of the PLC teaching unit, the robot arm unit, the feeding and sorting unit, the storage unit, and the vision unit.
 
 

PLC Teaching unit

- Siemens CPU from the family S7-1200
- Interfaces: PROFINET, Ethernet
- General logic control, Advanced logic control, inverter control technology and communication technology
 
The PLC control system is a programmable logic controller and a digital computing operation device designed for industrial production. It uses a kind of programmable memory for its internal storage program, performing logic operations and sequences. It features user-oriented instructions such as control, timing, counting, and arithmetic operations, and offers the ability to control various types of mechanical or production processes through digital or analog input/output. It is a core part of industrial control.
 

Robot arm unit

- Four degrees of freedom tabletop robot
- Operating mode: Teaching & Playback, Blockly, Script and other programming languages
 
The robotic arm is the most widely used automated mechanical device in the field of robotics. It can be seen in industrial manufacturing, medical treatment, entertainment services, military, semiconductor manufacturing and space exploration. Although their shapes are different, they all have one thing in common: they can accept instructions and accurately position them at a certain point in the three-dimensional (or two-dimensional) space.
 

Feeding and sorting unit

- Step & servo system
- Belt drive with external encoder
- Overall reasonable compactness
- Efficient sorting mechanism
 
The feeder is a machine that uses the force of the machine motion to force the material to transport the material. The feeder is an indispensable equipment for the light industry and heavy industry.
Sorting is an operation in which items are stacked in different categories according to the variety and the order of storage. Sorting is a preparatory work to improve delivery and support delivery. It is an inevitable extension of competition between different distribution companies in delivery and improvement of their own economic benefits. Therefore, it can also be said that sorting is an inevitable requirement for the development of delivery to advanced forms.
 

Storage unit

- Three-dimensional storage structure
- Compact and stable
 
Storage refers to the general term for storage and warehouse-related storage activities of materials. It occurs with the production of materials and develops with the development of productivity. Storage is one of the important links in the circulation of goods and an important pillar of logistics activities.
 

Vision unit

- Mature graphics software
- Stable and reliable visual accessories
 
The Vision system for automatic inspection, workpiece machining, assembly automation, control and monitoring of production workflow. The image recognition process of the industrial vision system extracts relevant information from the original image data according to the task and describes the image content in a highly generalized manner in order to interpret and judge certain contents of the image. The industrial vision system can be seen as a simplified primary machine vision system for tasks. In almost all industrial production areas, machine vision is required to replace human vision, especially for tasks that require high speed, accuracy or reliability.
