Robot-based qual­ity con­trol and inspection

For qual­ity assur­ance rea­sons many prod­ucts are sub­jected to inten­sive endurance test. These tests often need a com­pli­cated struc­ture with a lot com­po­nents like pneu­matic or hydraulic cylin­ders, motors, lin­ear units and a high design effort. This qual­ity assur­ance processes can be auto­mated and sim­pli­fied by using a robot.

Using ArtiMinds RPS it is pos­si­ble to cre­ate a sen­sor-adap­tive robot appli­ca­tion, e.g. for qual­ity inspec­tion of a igni­tion lock. In this case the key needs to get inserted into the igni­tion lock. Then sev­eral igni­tion move­ments are per­formed, whereby the forces are monitored.
The soft­ware is able to com­pen­sate forces and torques dur­ing inser­tion to avoid jam­ming. After that a force con­trolled rota­tion is per­formed to imi­tate the igni­tion movement.

In the mean­while the analy­sis tool ArtiMinds LAR records forces, posi­tions, speed, etc. of all passes for doc­u­men­ta­tion pur­poses. The data is processed and visu­al­ized by ArtiMinds LAR automatically.
