Customer advantages


Outline inspection

SIMATIC VS 110 solves three tasks in a single step

Correct part? Correctly aligned? And undamaged?

SIMATIC VS 110 compares the contour of the test objects with the taught „Good“ part

Customer advantages


Range of application

Inspection of small parts

in infeed systems for assembly machinesand many other conveyor-type

applications

Type recognition to prevent mixing with different parts

Faulty or damaged parts can be ejected

Correct parts that are reversed can be rotated

Only correct parts are fed in!

No mechanical retooling work - infeed equipment can be changed over for different batches and types in a second, by the operator of the machine!

Which test objects can be inspected?

Small parts from 4 x 4 x 1 mm to 59 x 45 x 20 mm must pass by in one or two distinctive views

Features relevant for inspection must be clearly recognizable in the contour

Typical examples: Screws, bolts:

Type recognition, thread present? Injection-molded components:

Test objects correctly formed, correctly aligned for infeed?

Pharmaceutical products: Tablets correctly formed/broken?

Confectionary: Sweets or chocolates correctly formed/mis-shaped?

Pneumatic valves or miniature relays can be directly activated

for ejecting or rotating the test objects Time response of the outputs is adjustable for

manipulation at the correct point of the process

Ejection by Blast nozzle Pneumatic cylinder Magnet or Downstream PLC with

separate ejection control

Where do the „Bad“ parts go?

Application example 1 -Conveyor belt with blast nozzles

Application with auto triggering Ejection of the incorrect parts by blast nozzles Conveyor belt with constant speed Direct activation of the valves, without an

additional PLCOnly correct parts

are processed

Correct but reversed part - is fed in again

Incorrect part - is ejected

Ejection of faulty parts

Correct parts that are reversed are blown back into the container

Only correct parts enter the

downstream machine for

assembly

Customer advantages


Teaching instead of programming

Teaching by showing „Good“ parts in one or two preferred views

Teach-in is performed directly with the keys

on the processing unit or in the case of remote

teach-in via a PLC A new type can be taught

during normal manufacturing!

Up to 15 different parts are stored in non-volatile

memory in the processing unitChangeover for different batches or types in a

second, while production keeps running!
