Expansion module for use with the Agile Production Simulation model.

The APS Add On: Kiln adds a new production module to the Agile Production Simulation (APS). The standard configuration with a drilling and milling module is extended by the option of a kiln. The additional process module allows the introduction of new derivatives into production or the expansion of existing production configurations by an additional process step.

The fischertechnik Factory Simulation model combines four models --Vacuum Gripper Robot, Automated High Bay Warehouse, Multi-Processing Station with Oven, and the Sorting Line with Color Detection--into one self-contained material cycle.

Workpieces are retrieved from the Automated High Bay Warehouse using the Vacuum Gripper Robot, and then moved to the Multi-Processing Station with Oven. After the work-piece has been processed by this machine, it is then sorted by color in the Sorting Line with Color Detection, before being again moved by the Vacuum Gripper Robot to the Automated High Bay Warehouse for storage. This fully assembled factory simulation training model is ideal for use with PLCs (Programable Logic Controllers) and PLC programming software.
