Deep learning — one of the most exciting developments in the field of machine learning — has the potential to redefine the rules of industrial image processing. Inspecting rain sensor components with complex, reflective, and streaked surfaces had been a longstanding challenge for our customer. Using conventional image processing, implementation proved to be...
The challenge in the "High-Speed Testing System" project was to develop a highly scalable testing machine capable of fully automated electrical, mechanical, and optical testing — as well as packaging — of over 10 million parking sensors per year. Despite the small size of the sensor housings, the quality requirements are exceptionally high: all contact pins are tested for continuity and short circuits, and the pin lengths must...
In the “Transfer Handling” project for the company Promotech, a fully automated special-purpose machine was developed to connect two independent injection molding machines (IMMs). The system includes a palletizer, multiple feed stations for the insertion of bushings, as well as a 6-axis and a SCARA robot. At the heart of the setup are the two injection molding machines, with the first machine inserting the bushings using...
The developed end-of-line (EOL) test system can be used for both visual and electrical testing. The test box is specifically designed for small batch production and offers the flexibility required by the user. The part holders are highly adaptable thanks to the use of 3D printing. In addition, both the electronic and optical testing systems are designed for maximum flexibility. A new test routine or part type can be integrated quickly and efficiently with minimal setup effort.
A major area of industrial software development is control systems engineering, including the acquisition and processing of process and performance data. The company Vorhauer Chiptuning, based in Attnang-Puchheim, was supported in the software implementation of a performance test bench. For this purpose, AutoLab developed the necessary functions for importing and real-time processing of test bench data. In addition, plug-and-play features were implemented to enable seamless data transfer from the PLC to the control station, where the results can be quickly analyzed and processed using Excel.
