Amatrol's VR Smart Factory - Allen-Bradley (VR870-AB) creates a digital twin of Amatrol’s three-cart Mechatronics training system that can be explored virtually via a Meta Quest 3 VR headset. Users can observe the operation of the system that assembles a working industrial directional control valve, including pneumatic pick and place feeding, go/no-go gauging/quality inspection (height and orientation verification), and automated inventory/parts storage.
In addition to observing the system in action, users can also interact with the virtual system, performing a variety of skills, such as: adjusting air pressure regulators for cylinders and vacuum generators; adjusting the ultrasonic sensor that regulates height measurement; viewing system information on the HMI screen; and adding parts to the gravity feeder. Several of these actions can also be performed via shortcuts using the left hand gaze controller on the VR headset.
