Application example

Locking check of the connections

Cover

The task

Regardless of whether the wiring is automated or manual, it is necessary to check the connector latches. Improperly latched connectors can trigger a subsequent defect and cannot be corrected due to the battery pack design.

The challenge

A large number of plug connections must be checked in a short time. Depending on the battery structure and the internal connections, a position must be found from which image acquisition is possible.

Our solution

The VISOR® Object, mounted stationary or in combination with a robot as required, provides the necessary flexibility for inspecting connectors that are difficult to see. Thus, the desired image acquisition for a reliable inspection is achieved. The VISOR® software offers the function to teach a unique contour, which can then be searched and inspected in its position. Job changes are available to check different fasteners with the same hardware. The duration of the image evaluation is only a few milliseconds, so that a connector inspection is possible in passing, which significantly reduces the time required.

From the desired position, even plug connections that are difficult to see are checked reliably and in a short time using the vision sensor and a robot.

Your advantages

  • The VISOR® software offers easy-to-use detectors for position control
  • With its high computing performance in a compact design, the VISOR® hardware is predestined for stationary mounting as well as for use directly on the robot gripper
  • Flexible robot-compatible cabling directly to IO distribution systems or over long distances into the next control cabinet
  • The VISOR® in the version with a medium field of view is optimal for this task
