January 21, 2008 - Aries Engineering Co. introduces a low-cost highly effective signature analysis system for 100% in-process verification for pressing and assembly operations.
The IntelliCyl® hydra-pneumatic units incorporate a built-in high-resolution linear transducer and load cell to provide the force-distance relationship needed in “mission-critical” assembly applications.
Monitoring and controlling the feedback produced by IntelliCyl is accomplished with the HyperView-sc Signature Controller. This module contains a standard program that converts the analog information from the IntelliCyl into a useful, easy to read signature curve for every cycle of the machine.
Many assembly operations found in brakes, steering systems, seating systems, aircraft components, and medical devices now require total in-process verification that proper force and distance had been applied, giving the producer 100% control and traceability for such operations. Not only is risk reduced, but scrap rates and related internal costs are also reduced or eliminated.
IntelliCyl hydra-pneumatic units incorporate a built-in high-resolution linear transducer and load cell to provide the force-distance relationship needed in “mission-critical” assembly applications. The unit provides an output for “not OK” parts, eliminating the possibility of producing large quantities of scrap, or worse, faulty parts that would have otherwise found their way to the customer’s end product, resulting in costly or catastrophic claims.
Versions of this unit come in a basic model with a backlit LCD screen and soft-touch function keys. The standard communication connection is an RS232 port, with optional Profibus and Ethernet connectivity for data collection and analysis. The standard model contains a 4 part program memory and 4 evaluation windows, and optional units include 32 programs, 8 evaluation windows per program and parts counter.
When supplied with drive units, the HyperView and IntelliCyl drive quality into the process while driving out costs.
