4/1/2011 - Automated Inspection System

From: Marketing Department @ Cincinnati Automation

Re: Automated Inspection System

Cincinnati Automation releases a new Automated Inspection System designed to check medical device packaging and verify correct assembly of small medical device kits. The system included 2 independent Keyence machine vision controllers with high resolution cameras and LCD displays. One vision system used blue LED lighting, blue pass filters on lens and was programmed to inspect the seals around a clear cellophane package. The second system utilized an integrated LED back light conveyor and was programmed to check for contamination in the package. This system was also programmed to verify kit assembly. Packages were manually placed on the horseshoe shaped 1st inspection conveyor where good units were advanced to the 2nd inspection station and eventually returned to the load/unload operator via a part shingling conveyor. Bad parts were contained inside of the inspection machine cabinet in two electrically interlocked reject bin drawers. The entire system was designed to be installed inside of a clean room. The system included a user friendly touch screen HMI for quick and easy part number selection, good, bad and total parts inspected counts. CA offers a complete line of automated inspection systems to process a wide range of part or assembly sizes. Optional items for CA systems typically include: servo or pneumatic pick and place systems for part loading, bar code scanner for part number and quantity entry, box and label printers, Industrial PC for pass/fail results data collection, and operator password entry & logging.

Cincinnati Automation provides machine vision, laser gaging and robotic systems integration services along with specialty inspection, packing, test and automation machines for several industries.

2/9/2011 - Thickness, Diameter Gaging System

From: Marketing Department @ Cincinnati Automation

Re: Thickness, Diameter Gaging System

Cincinnati Automation releases a part Thickness, Diameter Gaging System designed to measure parts to accuracies as tight as 1um. The system included two Keyence GT2 series digital contact sensors with custom tips, integrated air push devices and RS232 communications ports. Parts were operator loaded in to the gaging stations where they were automatically detected and checked. The PLC based control system transmitted the gage measurement results, part number, time and date to high speed industrial printers where operators were able to quickly peel and stick labels on parts as they were gaged. A user friendly touch screen HMI was used to display gaging results, for part number selection, and to display good, bad and total part counts. CA’s inspection and gaging systems can be programmed to transmit pass/fail results to customer’s PC for ongoing data collection. CA offers a complete line of gaging and inspection systems to process a wide range of part geometry and sizes. These systems could include high resolution machine vision cameras, laser displacement sensors, laser micrometers or 2D profiling lasers along with the material handling and automation to support the project requirements.
