GUIDANCE SENSOR

Automotive

ASSEMBLY TO VEHICLE

Identifying the relative position and orientation of a vehicle hub and the wheel on a moving production line requires real-time 3D position information. SmartRay 3D guides the assembly robot to attach the wheel to the vehicle in a fully automatic process.

WELD SEAM

The crashworthiness of any vehicle is dependent on high quality, consistent welding. SmartRay „WeldVision“ 3D solutions have been developed over many years to deliver high precision geometric inspection and defect detection of complex welded assemblies.

Electronics

TELEVISION

Using robots to assemble high volume products like TVs and Radios has helped drive manufacturing cost reductions. However, for some assembly operations robots need to be guided by SmartRay 3D sensors to ensure all parts are correctly inserted and positioned

PRINTER

During the assembly of ink jet printers, many different parts need to be picked up from various forms of transport packaging. SmartRay 3D sensors help robots and “pick and place” devices identify the location of each part and determine the optimum gripping point.

SCREW INSERTION

In such a price competitive marketplace, minimising assembly costs and maximising quality are essential. SmartRay 3D sensors check that all screws in each router are correctly inserted and fully screwed down. Any faulty items are automatically sent for rework.

Industrial

DEBURING TOOL CONTROL

There are inevitable variations in the shape and size of burrs on aluminium castings. A deburring robot fitted with a SmartRay 3D sensor automatically identifies the burrs to be removed and is guided to remove just the right amount of material.

PLASTIC FILM

When manufacturing continuous flat sheet material it is important to be able to track the position of both edges to control the width, position and thickness of the sheet. SmartRay 3D sensors provide continuous dimensional feedback even with very thin or transparent material.

PUMP

Applying a bead of sealant to a complex pump housing, prior to the next assembly operation, needs to be carefully controlled. SmartRay 3D accurately guides the robot dispenser around the housing to ensure the correct placement of the sealant around the entire path.

Consumer

OPTICAL ADJUSTMENT

The latest digital cameras contain tiny optical components that require accurate and repeatable assembly. SmartRay 3D sensors help monitor and control the final adjustments to the positions of these key components during the manufacturing process.

MECHANICAL CALIBRATION

Mechanical watches require careful assembly of delicate components and precise calibration of the final product to ensure accurate time keeping. SmartRay 3D inspects the position of key components in all dimensions and guides the mechanisms that control the calibration.
