Modular Production System – Transfer System

Source: Festo Corporation

The MPS® transfer system has been developed for everyone who wants to make headway with training, be it for the electrical or metal trades or for training technicians and engineers in mechatronics.

The key features of the MPS® transfer system are its innovative technology and the consistent use of industrial components.

Transfer line
The transfer line is made of solid profiles and can be used to transport workpieces or workpiece holders. Top quality, flexible, well thought-out and modular, it is the basis for numerous successful projects.

Drive concept
DC motor, AC motor, servo motor or stepper motor – the belt can be combined with all motor types with just a few simple actions. Professional clutches and toothed belt gearing simulate practical industrial applications while providing optimum training flexibility.

Modules
The individual modules are complete automated units that can easily be integrated into a single transfer line. The MPS® transfer system focuses on topics such as sensors, electrical positioning, handling, assembly, camera inspection, barcode scanning, RFID and many more, making it an ideal platform for forward-looking projects.

Control
The transfer system is compatible with microcontrollers such as the LOGO! or more complex control systems with a wide variety of configurations. We can produce the ideal control system for you, tailored to your needs.

Networking like the professionals
All modules are available with both I/O wiring and a range of bus connections.

Ready to go with:

  • I/O
  • AS-interface
  • CANopen
  • Profibus DP
  • Profinet

Workstation
A range of laboratory equipment and a trolley specially tailored to the MPS® transfer system creates the optimum working environment for you.

Experience
Several kilometres of our transfer solutions are already providing a reliable material flow in the AFB, iCIM, MPS® 500 and iFactory training factories for our customers and partners worldwide. This guarantees a well thought-out concept with a high quality design to strict industrial standards.

Multimedia support
Digital training programs for specific topics relating to the MPS® transfer system facilitate effective training, including the very latest trends in automation technology. The Machine Vision training program provides the perfect introduction to modern industrial image processing.

Just as in industry
Belts play a crucial role in automated production. Products are transported using belts of different widths or even double belts. On the MPS® transfer system, material is transported on a standard industrial belt.
