Design and control of JI silicone dispenser machine

In this thesis, design and control processes of JI silicone dispenser machine that automatically executes the siliconizing operation on LCD modules that are the main vision equipment of LCD TV?s, are studied.The content of this study can be grouped into two main topics; namely, mechanical design and automation system design. In mechanical design processes, firstly 3D modeling of the developed machine was drawn and according to 3D modeling of the machine and specified criterions and methods, mechanical equipments such as linear mechanisms, rotational mechanism, support and connection equipments were selected. In parallel to this selection procedure, manufacturing of the auxiliary equipments were executed. Finally, by using the selected and manufactured equipments, mechanical construction of the developed machine was completed through the mechanical assembly process.In automation system design, firstly the automation equipments such as HMI (operator panel), PLC, servo motor sets and sensors were selected. According to the device terminals, wiring project was drawn and connections of these equipments were done. Finally, the control devices were programmed with ASD soft (for servo drivers), WPL Soft (for PLC) and Screen Editor (for HMI) programs.Keywords: Autonomous systems, Mechanical systems, PLC, Servo motors, JI process in LCD technique
