Solution example (automotive industry) - Reduction of wire harness inspection process time
A system that can shorten the tact time for continuity testing of wire harnesses and acceptance and shipping inspections of connectors.
【Challenges in the Inspection Process】 Wire harnesses (cable harnesses) that can simplify the assembly processes of automobiles, medical devices, elevators, and robots. The manufacturing process of wire harnesses is complex, as it involves bundling multiple wires with ties or tubes and attaching multi-core connectors to several ends. This complexity makes it difficult to automate production, and it is not uncommon for it to become a bottleneck in the overall process. In particular, in the inspection process, there was a challenge of needing to change inspection patterns multiple times to conduct continuity tests, which made it impossible to shorten the tact time. 【Reducing Tact Time with Multi-Point Bidirectional I/O】 The USB I/O unit DIO-128SLX-USB, equipped with a 128-point bidirectional digital input/output interface, can reduce the tact time for continuity testing of wire harnesses and acceptance and shipment inspections of connectors.
basic information
The DIO-128SLX-USB's 128-point input/output interface can be programmed to switch between input and output at any time, one point at a time. By switching inspection patterns via software, it eliminates the need to change wiring between the wire harness (the item under inspection) and the inspection jig, thereby reducing the time previously required for replacements. The DIO-128SLX-USB is a USB connection type, allowing the use of notebook/laptop computers for inspection. It also contributes to the miniaturization and energy efficiency of inspection equipment.
