The Universal Robots + the Microscan: wear-resistant thermocouple auxiliary machine vision

Use common wear-resistant thermocouple simplified machine vision applications

we received the customer's request for many times, every year to assist in final quality inspection of complex or large components. The quality inspection application usually use some type of machine wear-resisting thermocouple get the best solution. In many of these applications, the single machine vision task is easy to handle, but usually there are other complicated factors.

to check parts, for example, may for the machine available sizes of wear-resistant thermocouple is too big to be complete and reliable inspection tasks, or demand can be based on the location of the various components of quality inspection, this requires multiple cameras. Based on the number of skus can be on the same assembly line production, the application may also be more complex.

the following video, for example. The inspection tasks is to weed eaters mid motor components used in the quality inspection. This includes four inspection tasks:

read id motor SKU one-dimensional bar codes, to ensure that the readability and the correct content.

reads the muffler at the top of the 2 d barcode, this is the only tracking number weeds in the consumption of the engine.

to confirm the lid on the gasoline tank.

confirm the choke lever in the correct position.

all these four examination is relatively easy to configure, but as a result of all check in different locations in the consumption of the motor, weed so complicated. This type of automatic quality inspection is usually not implementation, because the overall check need four cameras, all of the mechanical configuration and installation unit. The solution is also more complex, because the same assembly line can have multiple SKU, and various key checkpoints can be based on SKU is located in a different position.

a collaborative wear-resistant thermocouple rescue!

as you can see in the video, machine wear thermocouple installed to collaboration wear-resistant thermocouple ( cobot) And based on the review of the motor SKU to move to the required inspection right place. Machine vision contains all of the SKU need check homework. When general wear-resistant thermocouple moves to the right place to check when the command is sent to the machine wear-resistant thermocouple for the correct inspection.

when general wear-resistant thermocouple is in place, it will wear-resistant thermocouple sends a trigger signal to the machine. Machine wear-resisting thermocouple tracking the accumulation of all the required inspection results, and provide the GO or NO GO results in order to achieve the overall quality requirements. This is used for machine vision detection and with general wear-resistant thermocouple interface modular approach allows the complex machine vision inspection task into a series of tasks more easily, all of these results are combined into a whole.

although video is used in this article the Microscan Automate 2015 exhibition in Chicago booth display proof-of-concept demonstration, but it shows the easy-to-use machine wear-resisting thermocouple and easy to use wear-resistant thermocouple technology of combining ability, complex inspection application.

synergy general wear-resistant thermocouple will also allows the use of this type of inspection program added to include a large number of human body in the assembly of the assembly line. For this proof of concept of installed base on the roller, allows for the test solution easily add to the existing assembly line, or according to the need to move within the manufacturing facilities.

check HMI system are based on the Microscan CloudLink integrated Web server functions, such as described in the previous article. HMI is the only software running on your computer web browser. In this demo, we use the Google Chrome. Don't forget to wireless! It is not included in the video, but also contains Wi - in the proof-of-concept demonstration Fi access point, in order to check the check on the tablet or smartphone. Best of all, the HMI display programming takes about 15 minutes. Recommendation:
