Motivation for automation

The Minicooper and BMW emblems are manufactured to a very precise tolerance using a two-part bonding method. This operation is not feasible in the required precision and stability of the process by human power. The machine is designed in the form of a carousel with the possibility of changing the embedding dies and hooves to enable the production of a diverse family of MINI and BMW emblems. 

Project description.

The subject of the implementation was the development and supply of equipment for automatic pin checking of connectors

Process description:

  1. The pins are fed from a prefeeder into a vibratory feeder.
  2. The vibratory feeder feeds the pins onto a tear-off conveyor
  3. The tearing conveyor separates the sub pins from each other and carries the parts to the optical inspection zone
  4. Optical inspection is performed by a camera with image search function and Lumitrax light
  5. OK parts are deflected by compressed air into the OK box
  6. The NOK parts continue along the conveyor to the NOK box
