[Improvement Case] Troubles Caused by Chocolate Stops on the Line - Kaizen
Frequent "choco stops" during line operation! Work does not stop, and recovery takes time.
We would like to introduce a case where we improved troubles caused by chocolate stops on the production line. At one point in the production line, troubles (chocolate stops) occurred frequently. During these troubles, the line could not be stopped, allowing work from the previous process to enter and become defective. To address this, we installed our positioning sensor "PS-4482" and the magnetic body "MG-102A" on the line conveyor, enabling AB control. [Challenges] - Troubles were not detected, allowing work to be introduced. - It was unsafe because work continued to flow even while workers were engaged in recovery operations. - The working environment was poor, and the photoelectric tube could not detect anything. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
basic information
【Points of Kaizen and Expected Customer Effects】 ■ Install PS-4482 at trouble spots to detect the state of the workpiece ■ Able to detect detailed information about the workpiece due to 4-channel information output ■ "1. Presence or absence of workpiece" "2. Detection of workpiece entry" "3. Count of workpieces" "4. Detection of workpiece discharge" ■ Sensing in harsh environments, which was not achievable with photoelectric methods, is now possible ■ By installing the positioning sensor "PS-4482" on the conveyor, AB control has become possible *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
