In the current competitive trend, throughout the entire manufacturing process of the formation of a huge demand for further automation, promote the growing demand for higher output and low consumption is the efficiency of the pursuit. Deliver value for customers and improve return on investment in the process of automation is obviously a key factor in determining. To this end, in the current highly competitive automotive market, as a way out, should be considered more cost effective use of computer technology-based testing solutions to improve the high cost of traditional PLC-based assembly line, significantly improving efficiency, to produce even better products.
NI system Affiliate ABCO Automation, Inc. as a manufacturing assembly and test automation industry pioneer, has to be an automotive sensor manufacturer s requirements to develop a full range of materials, board assembly and testing machinery. Throughout the assembly process is responsible for manufacturing and testing of each sensor, the manufacturer whether the standard required to achieve flawless, plays a decisive role.
use NI products to meet the requirements of the system
system requirements including the sensor assembly capacity increased to every six seconds a part, and must be able and available Allen Bradley programmable logic controller-based company (PLC) system is compatible. This project is a perfect example of advanced technology to upgrade. Now, engineers can achieve the traditional PLC systems with more efficient low power consumption and superior data processing capability of seamless integration between computer technology.
The project includes the following major, a designated machine parts, two parts are connected using the calibration accuracy of conveyor belt:
A 14 station assembly and calibration lines
A final test line of 10 points
14 points in the first phase of assembly and calibration process, the system will be a slight margin to casting parts and transmission and to the conveyor system, where parts are assembled, check, check and appearance welding. With more than DENSO robots, the system will pass the sensor assembly of 10 stop set to do the final inspection test line, the last charge back.
testing phase, all of our systems use the NI programmable automation controller (PAC) platform in order to achieve speed, accuracy and ability to work together. By using NI PXI-1042 chassis and a NIPXI-8186 controller and an array NIPXI-6070E data acquisition module, a link to us from a certain speed to wheel audio encoder for waveform data. Systematic analysis of the waveform data of the frequency, peak and low-value and other parameters determine the eligibility criteria. We will send qualified packaging components, while those who fail to separate them, label and return address.
NI PAC (programmable automation controller) and LabVIEW improve performance, reduce costs
a key factor in success of the project is LabVIEW OPC s ability to work with the PLC s ability. Customer requirements and new system must have a variety of third-party modules and power supply capacity to work together. Use NI LabVIEW DataSocket technology and Allen Bradley s RSLinx OPC server, we will NI programmable automation controller (PAC) and the traditional PLC hardware integration is realized for all the data monitoring and control to achieve seamless. For purposes of this hard work, NI products to Allen Bradley brought the company s hardware products to facilitate the use of significant savings on to our valuable programming and integration time. Thus, our customers improve performance and cost savings.
