Relay Inspection System

This machine was built to mark, inspect and sort automotive ISO-Mini SPDT relays. The relays are singulated from an in-feed conveyor, laser-printed, and then indexed through a series of inspection stations by a combination servo/pneumatic walking beam. Each inspection station integrates precision pneumatic components and a custom sensor array, and together they provide a complete electrical and mechanical quality validation. At the end of the walking beam the inspected relays are released to an out-feed conveyor, and any rejects are removed and sorted by failure mode.

 

Key Features:

  • Label inspection via pattern-recognition sensor
  • 5-position LVDT inspection of terminal heights ( +/- 0.3mm )
  • Coil resistance and cycle test with data monitor terminal
  • Machine vision inspection of terminal position ( +/- 0.4mm )
  • Feature-rich HMI and custom machine-vision GUI
