[Improvement Case] Full Inspection of Iron Balls through Mass Production - Kaizen
MACOME CORPORATION
We are manufacturing iron balls, but magnetization of the iron balls has occurred! We want to monitor the magnetization on the line.
We would like to introduce a case where the full inspection of iron balls through mass production was improved. We manufacture approximately 40,000 iron balls with a diameter of 10mm every day, and among them, defective products (magnetized iron balls) were mixed in, leading to situations where they could slip through with only sampling inspections. By installing the guide sensor "GS-116" on the line conveyor, we were able to detect the magnetic field of the iron balls and discharge them. 【Case Overview】 ■ Issues - Monitoring of magnetized iron balls on the automated line - Due to the line structure, we wanted to maintain a detection distance of 30mm between the detected object and the sensor ■ Effects and Benefits of Improvement - Established a line that stops immediately if an anomaly is detected - Achieved a line system that can automatically discharge defective products when they occur *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

basic information
【Points of Kaizen and Expected Customer Effects】 ■ Although it is listed as a guide sensor for AGVs, the GS-116 supports 16-bit parallel switching output. ■ Since the output provides parallel ON/OFF information, the information from the magnetic field can be processed digitally. ■ The GS-116 has a detection range of up to 40mm, making it possible to install on conveyors. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
