The video titled "Solidworks Proximity Sensor, Event based Motion Study for Product Sorting Conveyor" from the Solidworks Fun channel is a video tutorial on using advanced functions of SolidWorks Motion Study , specifically Event-based Motion Study and Proximity Sensor simulation , to create a conveyor system for automatic product sorting (Sorting Conveyor) that responds to real conditions.
The video is 13 minutes and 18 seconds long and is a highly complex simulation:
Summary of the main content of the video: Event-Based Sorting System Simulation
This video focuses on making the pusher mechanism work automatically when an item is detected, rather than on a time-based basis.
1. Proximity Sensor Simulation
Creating a Sensor: The instructor will show you how to use the Sensor tool in SolidWorks to model the operation of a Proximity Sensor .00:20]
Conditional Setting: The sensor is set to detect when a workpiece (box) enters a specified range, simulating the operation of a sensor in a real factory.
2. Setting up Event-based Motion Study
Motion Study Format Change: The instructor changed from Time-based Motion Study to Event-based Motion Study [03:12]
Creating an Event: This is the key step [03:27] by setting the Event to occur when the previously created Sensor detects the product.
Action Definition: When an Event occurs (sensor detected), the defined Action is:
Motor/Actuator Works: The pusher mechanism is activated (extended) immediately to push the product off the belt.
3. Automatic simulation
Contact and Motor Simulation: The contact between the box and the belt is set and the Motor is set to make the conveyor belt rotate. [11:42]
Display: When the simulation is run, the sorting mechanism will automatically work when the boxes pass through the simulated sensors, making the sorting system more accurate and realistic compared to running on pre-set times.
This video is an excellent tutorial on creating complex and interactive dynamics simulation models in SolidWorks, an essential skill for automation engineers.
1. SolidWorks Motion Study Advanced: Simulate Proximity Sensors and Event-based Recognition Systems Focus on advanced techniques used in simulation (Event-based and Sensor) which are the core of the video.
2. SolidWorks Tutorial: Create an automated sorting system that responds instantly to object detection Emphasis on realistic system functionality , which is sensor-driven, not time-driven.
3. Engineering Handbook: Application of Sensor and Event-based Motion in Conveyor Design Focus on engineering applications to attract the target group of system and automation engineers.
