Leak test instrument reckoned to be most flexible
Combining the most sensitive pressure differential leak test valving with the most advanced front-end interface available has resulted in most flexible combined leak test instrument on the market.
A recent set of machines supplied handles large automotive plastic mouldings and is based on a 'spit roast' arrangement allowing the operator to access both sides of the moulding, as well as supporting the painted moulding only on the non-cosmetic face.
Once loaded, the bumpers are held in place by vacuum, while the operator fits all the added components.
The bumper moulding is bar coded, and this drives the machine to tell the operator exactly what combination of options are fitted to this specific part.
As each component is fitted, a series of lights tells the operator, and in the case of the lamps and parking sensors, carries out an automatic function check, ensuring that when that bumper arrives on the assembly track, all the correct parts are fitted and work.
Other systems TQC have supplied have included automatic unloading into the assembly cell by robot and automatic packing of the finished and checked parts at the end of the process.
