Production Kit Assembly Verification



Vision system


POSITION

Vision system for inspecting device assembly kits.


Thanks to the use of un vision software dedicated, SoftSystem gaensures precision and quality, verifies the presence and counts the quantity of the pieces that make up a kit used in assembly for production.


  • Customized solutions.
  • Compact machine dimensions, easy to move and integrate into production lines.
  • Variable working distance according to needs.
  • Possibility to integrate Client application.
  • Possibility of introducing dedicated part holders for each component of the production kit.
  • Function available Audit Trail.
  • Solution without using PLC.

CHECK

Analysis of the presence/absence of pieces for each kit

Testing the assembly of production kits It is based on the analysis of the presence/absence of the pieces listed in the recipe.

Each recipe requires more than one kit. The operator must therefore, after placing the pieces from each kit in the appropriate container, close the drawer and start the cycle using the button on the machine's control panel.

The software The assembly check for production will begin and provide a result on the number of pieces found for each kit, the color check if active, and the quality of the pieces found.

The operator will also have the possibility to train the recipes to software While it is in automatic mode, each acquired image is saved and new recipes can be created from it. Training the pattern to be searched for requires time and variability; patterns must be taught in any position they can be found once placed in the container. However, by following the guide provided when the machine is delivered, it will be simple to use this software and will guarantee the production kit assembly verification.

To avoid variability in the position of the pieces in the container, SoftSystem crecommends dedicated workpiece holders for the more difficult-to-find components.


Info

Technical information on vision system components

This particularAnd vision system is theintegrated with 2D matrix camera, aa compact industrial camera that can be easily interfaced with vision software.

Industrial cameras are designed to ensure efficiency in quality control, durability, robustness, resistance to shocks and temperatures.

In addition to the color chamber, there is a white light illuminator, chosen because white light, being neutral, does not alter the color of the object, and therefore allows optimal work even in color research. The illuminator is rectangular in shape and has an area of illuminant as large as the container for the production kit assembly verification.

SoftSystem useza certified devices of the best quality that the market can offer.


TRADITIONAL VISION

Color control on specific components of the production kit

In the management software production kit assembly verification, there is the possibility of enabling color control for each piece inside the container. This option is associated, if necessary, with each individual kit. The operator, when setting up recipes, must check the enable flag and enter the color code to be checked. The software will be able to autonomously analyze the colors found during the production kit assembly verification, and give a video result of what it has detected.


TRADITIONAL VISION

Quality control on individual pieces

A secondary functionality to the control of the presence/absence of the pieces for each production kit is quality control on each of themThe tool used to recognize the presence or absence of a component is able to evaluate whether a component does not comply with the recipe.

If a kit poured into the container contains a component that does not conform to the required quality, the software would mark the piece with a red dot, cataloging it as unacceptable, and thus indicating that it is not present in the kit.

There production kit assembly verification would therefore result in a KO.


OFFER

Dedicated Client Application

In addition to the mechanical structure and the electrical panelor, SoftSystem reIt comes with a touchscreen display with operator interface.

The management of the operator panel is assigned to aClient application, which interfaces and communicates with the vision software. The two software programs work together simultaneously and have different tasks:


  • The Client application, It can display the results of the production kit assembly check and the acquired image, as well as manage recipe calls from barcodes. It also has the ability to simulate the functions that can be activated from the keypad.


  • In the vision software interface, you have the ability to train recipes and verify that the production kit assembly has been acquired correctly.


In the production kit assembly verification, using this type of Client application bypasses the need for a PLC for theManagement of results communication and machine automation. I/O data exchange is managed through the moxa, which drives the following signals:


  1. cycle start;
  2. illuminator on;
  3. receiving results;
  4. receive acquired image;
  5. reset button.


The Client application is designed for a flatno of Industry 4.0, avenabling devices to communicate with multiple different protocols, and receive and exchange data with them.
