Visit of students of the Department of Electrical Engineering of the University of Patras

The premises of the Company “Kotronis Plastics” visited students of the Department of Electrical Engineering of the University of Patras, within the course “Industrial Automations”, accompanied by their Professor, Mr. Stamatis Manesis.

The students’ visit had a dual purpose. On one hand, to be introduced to the general framework of a mechanical engineer in the industry and, on the other, to deepen in a more specialized thematic related to the subject of the lessons taught by Mr. Manesis. More specifically, we gave students the opportunity to have a contact with a piece of hydraulic circuit design and then see in the production this piece operating.

In addition, it was analyzed a visual control system for products by camera and were examined the design and implementation steps of the project in concert with the students. Then, a tag feeder device plc code was examined, which then students saw it in mode in manufacture. Finally, they had a first acquaintance with a robotic arm (a 6-axial robot) once the Company’s staff introduced them to its mode of operation and programming.

The main axes of the “Kotronis Plastics” philosophy include the practical support of the interconnection of higher education with the labor market and in this case the industrial activity. As a result, the students of the University of Patras during their visit had the opportunity to come in direct contact with the subject of their studies and to obtain the necessary benefits from the knowledge and experience of the Company’s people.
