Wire
Label Assembly Machine
PROJECT
SCOPE:
To develop a flexible manufacturing line to produce dozens of wire
label part sizes, with rapid changeover and minimal tooling, along
with a vision system to monitor quality, while increasing the rate
of production from 90 parts per minute to 200 parts per minute.
COMPANY:
This company is an international manufacturer of wire labels.
DESCRIPTION:
System consisted of a several raw stock inputs (tubing, cardstock,
tape), and combined these into the finished product. The operator
would choose a part number from the touch-screen panel and
load the appropriate raw material. The vision parameters, as
well as all the machine functions were automatically set, allowing
for rapid changeover and JIT manufacturing of customers orders.
UNIQUE
FEATURES:
Inspections were made at the rate of several thousand per minute,
controlling not only the quality of the product, but also the quality
of the incoming raw material. Nonconforming raw material was rejected
instead of being processed and then rejected.
Completed
Machine with operator touch screen, vision inspection system,
and light curtains.
