Position control module

Machine vision systems that assure perfect blank position in the mold are essential.

 

Main benefits:

 

• Assuring a high quality product. Press only closes with blank in correct position.

 

• Improves line availability and productivity.

 

• Detection of broken centering pins.

 

• Eliminates 100% of human visual control tasks.

 

 

Control tools:

 

• Blank presence

 

• Centering pins presence

 

• Blank position

 

• Double blank format

 

 

Technical Specifications:

 

• Image acquisition with IR filters on high-sensitivity monochrome cameras.

 

• Two cameras for each mold offer sufficient field of view while component positioning keeps press movement area clear and does not penalize press cycle time.

 

• Not affected by changes of ambient lighting conditions.

 

• IP67 protection class for all relevant components.

 

• Protection housings against mechanical impact.

 

• Fast and easy edition and creation of new recipes and references.

 

• Automatic recipe selection by communication with the press PLC.

 

• Addition of new controls, modifiable thresholds and tolerances.

 

• Offline change-log for verification of changes and new configurations.
