Manufacturing higher quality razor blades while reducing cost
|
When Feintechnik GmbH Eisfeld needed to identify potentially defective razor parts they collaborated with SmartVision GmbH to develop an inspection system to ensure product quality—at 1.3 to 1.5 million individual parts a day. A new production facility for triple-bladed razor heads has been equipped with ten Cognex In-Sight® vision systems to detect every potential defect. Four inspection stations scrutinize 13 individual parts that are combined to form the razor blade units. The new system ensures quality with 100% automated in-line inspection, verifies assembly which eliminates defects and reduces scrap, and lowers overall manufacturing costs. Read the full story

Using a vision system on a robot to reduce cost by 40%
|
|
|
The Piston Group builds cooling modules on five different assembly lines, each line building more than 50 different variants in sequence to the customers’ demand. To replace a complex and costly inspection process, The Piston Group developed an affordable and flexible solution by mounting a single Cognex In-Sight 5603 vision system on a Fanuc® robot. The robot moves the vision system into position to capture 30+ images in less than 45 seconds, completely inspecting each module. The new inspection system has substantially improved quality by inspecting more points at a higher level of accuracy while reducing initial investment by 40% and retool cost by 80%.

Image-based industrial ID reader saves hundreds of thousands of dollars
|
An electronics manufacturer produces thousands of different part numbers of electronic products intermixed on the same assembly line. The difficulty in identifying parts, combined with the fast pace of the line, resulted in a large amount of rework or scrap. The manufacturer had experienced several hundred thousand dollars a year in losses when incorrect parts were added to, and/or the wrong operations were performed, on assemblies. Claire Lasers worked with the manufacturer and developed an application using the DataMan® 100 ID Reader. “I picked the Cognex DataMan 100 ID reader … because … its software consistently delivers reliable readings even when the appearance of the code has been degraded,” said Denis J. Gendron, President of Claire Lasers.
