Motivation for automation

Customers supplying machined parts to the automotive sector must meet the requirement for 100% quality control at high volumes and accuracies that would be unrealistic for manual inspection. Due to the long-term contract and the enormous production volumes, a machine concept in the form of a single-purpose machine was chosen.

Project description.

The subject of the implementation was the development and delivery of equipment for 100% output control of a family of turned parts - shafts. The main measured parameter is the overall length and diameters in the notch (+-0.004mm).

Process description:

  1. The parts are loaded into a pre-feeder with a downstream plate feeder with capacity for unattended operation for 1 shift.
  2. The plate feeder manipulates the parts into the separator
  3. Manipulator 1 feeds the shaft into station 1 where static length and diameter measurements are taken
  4. Manipulator 2 feeds the shaft to station 2, where measurements are taken under rotation
  5. Manipulator 3 transfers the shaft to the thread inspection station
  6. Manipulator 3 sorts the parts into OK/NOK with an inkjet marking process
  7. The machine collects data and communicates with the higher-level ERP system
