Gear Inspection System
will be exhibited at the Kansai Machine Component Technology Expo to be held at INTEX OSAKA from October 5.
This is aimed at ultra high-speed inspection of objects with repetitive patterns in the circumferential direction by installing a rotating axis at the end of a vertical articulated robot and capturing and inspecting images synchronously with the axis of rotation.
At the International Robot Exhibition at the end of last year, we exhibited FlexInspector-ROBO, a robot that can inspect arbitrarily shaped three-dimensional objects using a vertical articulated robot.
We received a great deal of interest, including coverage in newspapers and other media.
HOWEVER, AS FAR AS WHETHER IT LED TO ORDERS, NO!
The biggest problem is that the speed is not much different from the speed at which people inspect.
Even if you go to the trouble of investing in a new machine, it will only be a "replacement for people...
if it is the case that
- Let's get rid of the "I can do anything."
- Let's focus on the objects that can be done overwhelmingly quickly.
- Big investments require big effects. A large investment requires a large effect.
So,
- Specialized for objects with circumferential repeating patterns.
- By having a vertical articulated robot with a rotation axis This enables imaging from various directions. (Patent pending)
- The image is captured and inspected while rotating at 0.6 seconds per revolution. Obviously faster. The speed is clearly faster.
This is the form that we settled on.
The "turn" action is,
- Humans are not good at this. but Easy to mechanize
- Due to small center of gravity shift Easier to increase speed
and the automation effect is expected to be significant.
10 times faster than others, faster than others, the fastest We aim to be
