Re: Automated Laser Gaging System

Cincinnati Automation releases a new line of automated laser gaging systems to measure and record ID, OD, length, run out, roundness, thickness … of precision parts. The systems typically include Keyence line profiling or single point laser displacement sensors mounted to servo positioning devices to accommodate a wide range of part sizes. Larger parts are manually loaded on to a rotary dial table with integrated part nest or another part holding device specifically designed for the part shape/size. Smaller parts are either bowl fed or escaped from a magazine cartridge system to the gaging area. CA’s control systems include an Industrial PC for measurement results data collection, AB PLC and user friendly 8" color touch screen HMI for machine functions. Optional items typically include: laser micrometer, machine vision inspection camera(s), bar code scanner, label printer, precision weigh scale, and material handling packing conveyor. Final machine layout and part nest configuration is based on specific customer part shape/size.

Re: Automotive Parts Assembly, Inspection & Packing

Cincinnati Automation releases a turnkey system designed to assemble, inspect, and pack automotive vibration dampening mounts at a rate of 30ppm. With new tooling, this machine could be configured for a range of small components and assemblies. Metal inserts are fed 2 at a time from bowl to nests. Rubber grommets are also fed 2 at a time from a 2nd bowl to nests. Grommets are staked on inserts in the nests which are attached to a timing belt indexing conveyor. The parts are lubricated and pressed together to complete the assembly. Finished parts are unloaded and 100% inspected with a 2 camera Keyence or Cognex vision system. Rejects are dropped individually into an internal container. Good assemblies are counted and then dropped into customer totes positioned below the machine. The PLC based control system includes programmable full box counters, machine function and alarm history displays. An optional integrated material handling conveyor is used to advance empty totes in and full totes out of the machine.

Re: Automated Assembly & Inspection

Cincinnati Automation releases a new line of automated assembly & inspection machines designed for 2-3 component assembly, test and checks. These systems include 2-3 feeder bowls typically rated at 30ppm each. Component parts are fed to escapements for loading into nests mounted on either a dial table or a timing belt indexing conveyor. Systems generally include a press cylinder, welder, adhesive dispenser, or vision guided robot for assembly. Servo-pneumatic pick-places are used for loading and unloading parts. Keyence or Cognex vision systems confirm correct assembly and/or inspect components prior to allowing assembly. Good assemblies are counted and advanced out of the machine while bad parts are moved off-line to a customer reject bin. A PLC controls and an HMI displays all machine functions which include operator settings for full box counts. An optional material handling conveyor automatically advances full boxes away and new empty boxes into the packing area.

Re: Compression Spring Inspection Machine

Cincinnati Automation releases an automated inspection system designed to be used for over 40 part numbers of compression springs (and other round parts) from 4" up to 10" OD. Parts are loaded in three 18" high stacks with automatic stepper motor height controls. Three 3-finger grippers are used to pick parts from tops of stacks and to place them on the inspection conveyor. A high resolution Keyence or Cognex vision camera system is installed above an LED backlight area for precise inspection/gaging of features such as ID, OD, broken teeth... Good parts are dropped down a chute to customer bins. Rejected parts are ejected inside of the cabinet into an internal container. Machine status and functions are displayed on an 8" color touch screen HMI. An AB micrologix PLC controls all machine operations.

Re: Inspection & Packing of Molded Parts

Cincinnati Automation releases an automated inspection and packing system designed to be integrated with customer's existing injection molding machines. The system can be programmed to audit one or more shots of multiple cavity molds for every full box processed. Two or more high resolution Cognex or Keyence vision cameras are programmed to gage features such as length, width, ID, OD… and to check for flash, short shots and contamination. An uphill transfer conveyor with optional part cooling system is used to move parts to the inspection area or divert them to the box loading area. An optional precision weigh scale is used to verify correct part counts per shot. The PLC/HMI includes operator settings for full box counts and weight. The material handling control system automatically advances full boxes away and new empty boxes in to the filling area.

Re: Automated In-line Leak Tester

Cincinnati Automation releases an automated in-line helium leak tester for sealed connector housings. The dual sided design allowed one system to be under test while the material handling robot picked and placed up to 8 parts for the other side. Dual mass spectrometers, vacuum assist pumps and custom valve blocks were programmed to complete the leak testing. A custom 8 part gripper with some physical part compliance allowed parts to be picked from new to older worn pallets. Full pallets were transferred from a driven roller conveyor into leak test machine and then raised into a final unload and reload location. An AB SLC-500 PLC and Panelview HMI were used for the machine control systems and function display. Custom screens with graphical flow charts and performance data included individual chamber test results. Components were housed in a heavy duty tubular steel frame and large Nema-12 enclosure.

Re: Inspection & Gaging in Harsh Environments

Cincinnati Automation releases an automated inspection & gaging machine designed for harsh environments. The inspection system is fully enclosed with 1/4" thick plastic panels that are sealed around seams. The inside of the inspection cabinet is purged with clean dry air to provide positive pressure that prevents migration of dust and other contamination from harsh environments. The machine is supplied with high resolution Cognex or Keyence machine vision inspection camera(s) and/or Keyence precision lasers for gaging. A pass through conveyor moves parts into position for inspection. A reject device pushes bad parts off line down a chute to customer's bin. Good parts flow through to the next station. Options include data collection PC, and a full box control packing conveyor.
