Application description of the installation
Baumer Bourdon haenni is also a manufacturer of pressure gauges for various sectors. We manufacture our own tubes, which we call "tube de bourdon". I've developed a machine that enables us to control the tube stroke in mm between the minimum pressure (0) and its maximum pressure. The plane or type of tube and its maximum permissible pressure define the cameras position on the X, Y and Z axes. When the camera is correctly positioned in front of the tube, it captures images during the process of pressurizing the tube to determine its stroke (its displacement due to the elasticity of the material). The camera movement on the X, Y and Z axes is mounted on Igus equipment (guides, control cards, cable chains, etc.). This allows me to obtain repeatability in the movements of the vision system (see photos).
Problem definition
To obtain a displacement that can cover all types of tube, depending on shape, type of assembly and pressure (quick coupling is a different means of pressure generation). Different guides, depending on length and size, with ballscrews or belts, enable me to respond to this problem while remaining precise in the final position. This precision is crucial, as the camera works by shape recognition.
How were processes optimized/costs saved/increased efficiency with automation?
Improved measuring equipment with a camera system (former overhead projector system). Reliability, repeatability and ease of measurement with recent pressure generation systems (handle system and pneumatic booster). HMI allowing the operator to acquire images to determine tube stroke. Safety of the equipment.
