The sorting of corrugated cardboard mainly relies on labor, it is labor intensive, inefficient and time consuming. Address to this issue, an automatic pointing and batching system of corrugated cardboard was developed. The hardware and control scheme of the control system were designed according to the process requirements of pointing and batching. The hardware was mainly consisted of SIMATIC S7-1511-1PN programmable controller (PLC),distributed IO modules, pulse output modules, servo drives and smart camera. The core technologies of the batch operation control of the push-pull mechanism, the communication control of the camera equipment and the control of the positioning points of the lifting mechanism were illustrated. The TIA Portal V14 programming software was used to design the HMI interface to complete the remote control and monitoring of the system. The experimental results show that the equipment can realize automatic and accurate material distribution of corrugated cardboard, and has the advantages of simple operation, high precision, safety and efficiency, and labor saving.
