NORGREN AUTOMATION SOLUTONS IS A LEADER
IN ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS FOR
THE AUTOMOTIVE AND AUTOMATION INDUSTRY.
In car assemblies, an automatic system welds nuts to sheet
metal so auto body parts can be bolted together later. If a nut
is missing or not aligned with the hole, the part may have to
be scrapped. But these nuts are often hidden from view,
making visual inspection slow and costly. Existing hidden part
sensors could measure thickness, (indicating whether a nut
was present) but they were expensive and difficult to configure
into a workable package. Automotive manufacturers needed
a sensor that was:
Sensitive
Easy to calibrate
Affordable
NAS MET THE CUSTOMER CHALLENGE
Manufacturers now have a probe that is:
PRECISE – The sensor easily detects whether a nut
is present or absent. Furthermore, it can be
calibrated to detect thread quality using a simple
hand adjustment and an LED indicator.
AGILE – An optional spring mount allows the probe
to retract without damage if a hole is missing. The
probe can also offset up to five degrees when a hole
and nut are misaligned.
COST-EFFECTIVE – Not only does the new radial
sensor technology make the probe affordable, but
manufacturers realize significant savings by
eliminating manual inspections and avoiding scrap of
costly car assemblies.
