In the development from manual production to full automation the customer asked us to develop an assembly and validation solution for the production of industrial flow meters.
The customer produces various kinds of process instruments. For the realisation of a new type of flow meter they wanted to step towards a fully automated solution. One of the challenges in this process was the very restricted floor space in combination with high amount of varying process steps and a variety of product ranges to be produced.
We designed and realised a fully automated assembly station for the assembly of the customers’ new product. During this process we helped the customer on design for automated assembly of its product. The finished cell contains a large set on varying assembly steps. Some steps are: soldering, pressing, laser welding, bending and gluing. Each finished product will be tested in an integrated end of line inspection station in which electrical connections and several other parameters will be checked at high pressure. 4 different product types can be produced in this system.
Product supplied to and from the machine can be done by operators without affecting the machine flow using drawers within a safety enclosure. During the assembly process all process data is stored ensuring full product traceability.
De continuïteit van productie, mobiliteit en beschikbaarheid staat of valt met de juiste inrichting van elektrotechnische installaties. Of het nu gaat om een productielijn, infra-kunstwerk, weg-systeem of hoogspanning station: elektriciteit is cruciaal.
Mechanical Engineers zijn een onmisbare schakel in productontwikkeling, productinnovatie en machinebouw. Van transportsystemen tot complexe productiemachines: mechanica is de basis van goede én veilige operatie van de machine.
Machines bouwen, technische installaties aanleggen en systemen integreren is één, maar een betrouwbare en veilige operatie staat of valt met juiste software. Voor complexe machines, productielijnen of infra-projecten als bruggen en sluizen is de besturingstechniek essentieel.
