The function principle of the Checkbox is based on:
– the contactless recognition of small parts
– the teaching of new parts without programming
– anintegratedqualitycheck.
Identification A small parts conveyor separates the individual parts and
passes them on to the conveyor device. The conveyor device
(e.g. conveyor belt, linear axis) can be fitted with a maximum
of 3 actuators for returning or separating the conveyed parts.
The Checkbox registers each part in contour pictures. From
the contours the system ascertains part-specific features
such as length, height and surface. On the basis of the fea-
tures the Checkbox recognizes:
–thepartstype
– the orientation
– the dimensional accuracy
– the quality.
Teaching The nominal contour of a conveyed part is ascertained by a
simple procedure:
1. Y ou “show” the Checkbox samples of the conveyed part
type several times one after the other (= scan) in the
nominal orientation.
2. Y ou scan the sample parts in further orientations if
required.
3. You save the features of the parts type as Teach data.
4. You test the Teach data in the test mode.
