Process Overview
This solution is a manufacturing automation system that automates the insertion process of automotive weather strip clips using a cartesian robot.
By automating the entire continuous workflow in-line, including raw material cutting, clip insertion, and appearance inspection, productivity has been significantly improved.
Components
- Robot
Cartesian robot
- Peripherals
Sony machine vision system (ez-VISION)
Pattern matching: Detects presence and condition of measured parts
