Cotton Drum Tester
This test platform was developed and implemented to perform production tests on the drum component of a Cotton Picker. An ABB Vector Drive was used to control the test stand motor. Interface to the drive, as well as system monitoring for vibration, temperature, drum speed and clutch slip were performed with an Allen Bradley PLC. Data collection and user interface were developed in VB .NET. The product has numerous configurations that affect positioning of the product gear box. The test stand allows for quick connection to the motor in any configuration via a motor trolley track, in which the motor is suspended on a track and rotated into position per the unit configuration.
