CUSTOMER:
Major
Automotive Filter Manufacturer.
PROBLEM:
To
create an operator free testing system that would allow for checking the absence
or presence of threads in the tap plate of finished filters entering our
equipment from a seaming station.
SOLUTION:
Design
and fabricate a continuous motion testing turret system which will automatically
accept finished filters straight from a seaming station, positively control,
transfer, and insert them into our checker which inserts probes into a hole,
injects air, and based upon the pressure generated, determine whether the part
is threaded or not.
