[Automation Example] Measurement of the total length of cap components and sorting process

Stable measurement accuracy and reduction of on-site adjustment work are challenges! We will introduce examples that have achieved a reduction in the burden on operators.

We would like to introduce a case where Company C, a metal processing manufacturer, implemented automation equipment for the measurement of the total length of cap parts and the sorting process. In the measurement and sorting of cap parts, which are lathe-processed products, it was necessary to avoid interference with measurement accuracy caused by the entanglement of cutting chips and to ensure stable measurement accuracy, as well as to reduce the complicated adjustment work on-site. To avoid interference from cutting chips, we proposed a method for high-precision total length measurement by placing contact-type displacement sensors above and below. The entire process from material feeding to automatic sorting has been fully automated, achieving a reduction in the burden on operators and optimizing production efficiency. [Case Overview] ■ Background: The challenge was to ensure stable measurement accuracy and reduce adjustment work on-site. ■ Proposal: Various suggestions to reduce adjustment work. ■ Effect: Achieved a reduction in the burden on operators. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
