[Case Study] Eliminating Variability in Work Cutting Machines
The repeat accuracy of the work cutting machine is not as expected! Here is an example of the introduction of a linear encoder system!
The accuracy of the aluminum work cutting machine was unstable, leading to unnecessary work due to the need for accuracy checks every time. We are considering the introduction of a photoelectric system, but it was mentioned that "there is a possibility of false detection due to aluminum dust." We received requests such as "we want a scale that is not affected by aluminum dust" and "we don't mind an accuracy of about 0.1mm, but we want to keep the introduction costs low." Therefore, we installed the "SI-140PAC (Incremental)" made by Makome Research Institute on the aluminum cutting machine. As a result of the improvements, we reduced unnecessary inspection time and achieved zero in inspection time, inspection downtime, and inspection line downtime. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
basic information
【Case Summary (Partial)】 ■Trouble Case (Request) - We want a scale that is not affected by aluminum dust. - We don't mind an accuracy of about 0.1mm, so we want to keep the installation costs down. - We want a scale and a counter (display unit). ■Trouble Situation and Loss - Inspection time: 6 times/28,800 seconds - Inspection downtime: 20 seconds/1 time - Inspection line downtime: 120 seconds (2 minutes) - Line downtime loss: 800 yen/day ■Points of Improvement and Expected Customer Benefits - Incremental display every 0.1mm, with repeatable accuracy. - Since it uses a magnetic encoder, it is not affected in areas with poor environmental conditions. - The scale and head can be enclosed with non-magnetic aluminum or stainless steel materials (to prevent easy adjustments by operators). ■Effects and Benefits of Improvement - Inspection time: 0 times/28,800 seconds - Inspection downtime: 0 seconds/1 time - Inspection line downtime: 0 seconds (2 minutes) - Line downtime loss: 0 yen/day *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
