摘要

Automatic machine for measuring volume, bulk density.Porosity and swelling of pellets of iron ore and other granular materials is a vending machine that allows testing for the determination of the volume.Bulk density, porosity, and swelling in a sample with various elements of iron ore pellets or other granular materials without the interference of an operator.Increasing the reliability of the tests and reducing its cost including: a table (1) where is placed the robot Cartesian manipulator (2), the tray or bin (5) with the elements of the sample.A measuring station of volume (6) and a measuring station weighing (7); a robot manipulator Cartesian (2) with sufficient degrees of freedom for all the manipulation required of the elements of theThe sample; a pneumatic mechanical gripper (3) with configuration of fingers (4) allowing for the elements of the sample in various positions in which he will be placed in stations and in the tray or ESCYear (5); a tray or bin (5) indexed with geometry for the placement and removal of each of the elements of the sample, and may be of metal material.Plastic or other nature; a measuring station of volume (6) capable of measuring the volume of the element of the sample; a measuring station of the weight (7) of the element.Normally a balance or another type of device which measures the weight of a body; a control system (8) based on one or more computers,Micro controllers or other type of digital processing element to perform the control of the machine, the configuration of the test and obtain the test reports.
