Test stations for the optical inspection of stamped parts
Use of our double track test stations
The demands for efficiency and cost structure in stamping production have grown rapidly. Manufacturers of stamped parts need competitive solutions that enable zero-defect production despite increasing process complexity.
PSS-40 test stations are an innovative leap from the traditional random test of stamped parts, to the fully automated in-line, inspection, measurement and sorting of stamped production parts.
Real-time delivery and processing of each manufactured part’s inspection data, from the first punching stroke onwards, allows shorter and more efficient changeover processes, high stamping line utilization, and the lowest possible consumption of resources. For our customers, this means improved quality at lower costs.
Our latest test station for punch strips of the PSS-40 series
Benefits at a glance
- Uninterrupted production of stamped strips with 100% quality
- No press stops for sporadic missing parts, waste, welding of raw material
- Space-saving stamping line configuration, no additional strip welding device
- Fully automated production, saves resources and time
Special features LCLW
- Fully automatic tensile test after each weld
- Cutting out of first strips section for tool setup
- Cutting of strip sections or individual parts in the process
- Free of choice cutting/welding positions and cutting geometries
- Processing of multiple connections
- OVIS Inspect software with fully integrated laser configuration
Wear-free 24/7 sorting function of bad parts
- No wear and tear - Unlike mechanical cutting tools, a laser does not wear out
- High flexibility - No complex tool changes, simple flexible grippers
- Reduced changeover times
