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 the family of turned bodies. The main parameters measured are the diameters in the shank while the part is rotating (+- 0.005mm) and the overall length (+-0.05mm).   

Process description:

  1. The parts are fed into a preloader downstream of the vibratory feeder. 
  2. The parts are oriented into a linear vibratory bar
  3. The parts are separated in two pieces
  4. The manipulator grabs two parts simultaneously with rotary grippers and moves the parts to the measuring position
  5. In the measuring position, the parts are measured with a diameter micrometer under rotation
  6. Based on the measurement result, the parts are sorted on the slide into OK/NOK
  7. The device collects data and communicates with the higher-level ERP system
