Conveyor Trainer Part 1, Overview of the Motor, Sensors, Air Solenoids 

Great information. Always learning. Thank you

For mining applications we usually swap rotation on our conveyors to clear the belt when operators choke it up

As someone else mentioned, adding an encoder to the belt tail shaft would be a great training tool. you could then detect belt zero speed, which could be a jam or belt break, reverse motor for jam.

Tim your videos are very nice greetings from Brazil

Hello Tim, thats really awesome

Keep up the good work

Very nice Tim! We had something similar in the mechatronics classes I got but it was made by Festo and had add on stations that send the pucks through various processes before it was sorted like you are doing here. One comment I do have is it might be better to make the PB contacts the same color instead of red and black. Someone new to wiring might see that as needing to hook a positive and negative to it . Then of course not so good things will happen lol.

Very helpful

THAT motor reverses by swapping the polarity, not all DC motors reverse that way. Something you find out when you may make a DC motor from scratch as an apprentice. But I like the test rig, would like one for my apprentices to demonstrate some concepts of automation. It would also be good to take to apprenticeship fairs we attend. Spend hours on this channel, always a good informative watch.

Hello sir, it's really impressive. Keep it up sir

Thanks

Awesome video, later could you include the hmi and analog programming to vary the conveyor speed for real life industrial applications

our storage line conveyor is reversible. It can be loaded or discharged from our automatic transfer car. basically a first in last out short term storage system. typically to store blanks for quick automated delivery to machines

Hi Tim great videos I'm learning alot. I currently work in the pharmaceutical industry so I have alot of interactions with automation. Can you please make a video about bit registry and using it to reject certain things along a conveyor system. Thanks again for the great videos.

Add a sensor at the end of the belt, to stop and reverse if both pushers miss.

Hi I like your video but I was hoping you could link to the ladder or schematic diagram. It would be nice to look at.

I was wondering is it possible to have in place of two material sensors just one that is used to scan both aluminum and plastic? I’m thinking maybe their is something out in industry but not sure.

I love how coils sound like kohls....just a little fun from a dam Yankee!

Anybody know how to search up those air operated pushers? I have a hobby application I want to use these on!

Where is the wiring diagram you refer to ? I always thought the latch had to be parallel to the start button but i see you do it differently here. Interesting

Tim How are you? One way to use a reverse and forward motor is to have two augers for trash when one container is full the motor can reverse the belt so the trash can go to the other auger while the full auger gets empty.

Also I don't know if you have experience with them but especially in mining we have a lot of scales on our belts that tell speed and how much weight is on the belt with a load cell and an encoder how would one go about writing the logic for that?

hello sir, what is the use of the magnetic sensor on the back of the cylinder?

how do I order the kits?

YOU CANT JUST TEASE US LIKE THAT !!
