Equipment for detecting gas leak of machines

Industry: Inspection/Testing
Process: Inspection
Actuators: IA Kit

Functions of the ROBO Cylinders being used

The IA kit has been adopted for equipment that inspects gas leakage after a device that uses refrigerant gas is packed into a cardboard box.

A camera detects the hole opened for inspection on the cardboard box and the gas detector moves to that position. Then using the z-axis, the gas detector is inserted into the hole to measure gas concentration.

By automating a manual process with this equipment, the cost of labor was reduced.

By automating the adhesive application process,
the product quality has improved greatly!!

【 Issues Until Now

  • The adhesive application process used to be done manually.
  • There was inconsistency in the quality of the finished products, and about 40% of the products were defective.

【Importance of Improvement】

  • To promote the consistency of product quality by automating the application process

【Improvement Details】

  • The application process was automated by introducing
  • two-axes combined Cartesian robots that use Robo Cylinders.

【Improvement Effects】

  • The quality of the work improved, and
    the rate of defective products decreased from approximately 40% →0%.

Function of the Robo Cylinders being used
Positioning

In equipment that prints barcodes onto work, a rod type ROBO Cylinder® has been adopted for a device that lowers and raises the inkjet printer.

A sensor detects the height of the work, and the height of the inkjet printer is adjusted accordingly.

With this device, it became possible to automatically adjust the printing position even when the height of the work changes.

Architectural Aluminum Cutting Equipment Application Example

A touch panel is used to set the size of the cut and to display the length measurement after cutting.

Wire Rod / Architectural Material
Process: Cutting

[ Actuator ] RCP2-SS8C-I-56P-10-650-P1
[ Controller ] PCON-C-56PI-DV-2-0

A ROBO Cylinder® has been adopted for sending architectural material to an aluminum cutting device.

A touch panel is used to set the size of the cut and to display the length measurement after cutting.

By using a field network supported PCON, you can read the data and display the present value on the touch panel.
