The old saying once said: You can't have both fish and bear's paws. In industrial production, efficient assembly speed and reliable quality assurance are the "fish" and "bear paws" of workpiece assembly. In the past, a relatively stable balance must be reached. Either reduce the assembly speed or relax the quality standards. In short, There are trade-offs.

However, the artifact from Baumer, the OXM200 multifunctional contour sensor, has subverted this thesis, allowing us to have both "fish" and "bear's paw", and bring more benefits into our bag.

Fast detection, quality control

Everyone in the circle knows that the quality of the workpiece is the basic guarantee for the efficiency of the assembly process and the quality of the final assembly. The online detection of sensors can significantly improve the efficiency of the assembly line, reduce errors and reduce the final cost.

In assembly and handling applications, after the robot arm grabs the target, it often needs to check whether the quality/tolerance of the workpiece meets the quality requirements of the production process, especially for workpieces such as height, edge, gap, width, diameter, and angle Measurement of parameters. After obtaining these measured values, the control system only needs to compare it with the parameters of the standard workpiece, whether there is a deviation, and how much deviation can be seen at a glance.

For high-speed automated assembly lines, the contours and position characteristics of the workpieces are different, and the real-time detection requirements are high. For the rapid detection and image processing capabilities of the sensors, the flexible configuration capabilities for a variety of workpieces, and the communication with the upper automation system Integration capabilities all pose certain challenges.

Helping the assembly robot to meet these challenges is exactly the responsibility and advantage of Baumer's OXM200 multifunctional contour sensor. TA can keep up with the assembly rhythm and quickly detect various parameters and indicators in real time, helping the robot to show its magic in high-speed assembly.

Intelligent detection, quality protection

In addition, the OXM200 multifunctional contour sensor also makes data processing easier. OXM200 integrates a series of measurement functions, and the operator does not need to have rich image processing professional technical knowledge, and can also perform efficient online or offline detection.

Through the parameter detection of up to 7 groups of workpieces at the same time, OXM200 can further intelligently analyze and process on the basis of contour graphics, and directly provide the processed results to customers. Customers can easily and simply use the contour sensor without having the ability to integrate. .

OXM200 can integrate intelligent measurement functions and image processing functions, can connect measurement tools to complete various analysis tasks, and can freely configure up to 7 measurement values in the intuitive Web interface to analyze and monitor the workpiece in real time. In addition, OXM200 supports multiple mainstream interfaces and protocols such as PROFINET and OPC UA, which is convenient for system communication and integration.

Due to the low investment cost and easy operation of the OXM200 sensor, customers can use the sensor in more applications to improve production quality and reduce overall costs.

In today's increasingly widespread application of robot-based automated assembly, the quality inspection of assembly workpieces through multi-functional contour sensors to improve assembly quality and efficiency and reduce costs is an important link to ultimately improve the competitiveness of assembly manufacturing enterprises. Baumer's OXM200 solution can be called the quality guardian in efficient assembly and empower users with more value.
