Process

Simplified Loading

Simplified Loading

Operator positions workpieces onto the drive pins in an approximate orientation. As the drive pin drags the workpieces along the work surface, the drag motion orients them.

Part Pass

Workplace Verification

The integrated vision system verifies the workpiece is accepted, i.e. correct part, in the correct position and orientation.

Accurate Placement

Accurate Placement

Once verified workpieces are picked by a robot inside the cell, the drive pins advance more workpieces into position. Rejected workpieces are discarded into the Reject Chute or Bin.

Applications

CenterLine engineers can configure a PinPoint™ Solution to meet production requirements. The solution is supplied complete, tested with production parts along with simple add-on instructions for the cell controller.
