Integration of camera monitoring into a punching tool for producing complex stamped parts
For their customer Festo SE & Co. KG in Esslingen, the company Siegfried Beck GmbH, with their partner UnidorTRsystems GmbH, developed a punching tool for the optimized production of complex punching contacts using camera monitoring integrated in the stamping tool.
Siegfried Beck GmbH is a well known company from Pforzheim that develops and builds complex punching tools for its customers and produces precision punched parts in medium and high volumes. Unidor TRsystems GmbH is a manufacturer of individual measuring systems for stamping and forming technology.
Task: 100% testing of complex bulk parts during production
The contacts produced in the stamping tool are complex parts with tight tolerances. Process-reliable production is difficult. To ensure high quality, the parts were 100% tested after production.
The target was to significantly reduce the testing effort and the error rate. Production should therefore be continuously monitored during the stamping process.
Solution: A camera system which is integrated into the stamping tool
With Unidor TRsystems GmbH as partner, the company developed a punching tool into which an AI-based camera system was completely integrated. 4 cameras in the tool measure each part of the preliminary strip from all sides (front, back, top, bottom). 15 dimensions are taken into account with a tolerance of +/- 0.05mm. During this process, the punching tool can run at up to 300 strokes per minute, ensuring economical production.
Minimized error rate through faster problem detection and resolution
Through 100% control of the parts during the punching process, dimensional changes can be corrected immediately and error costs are minimized. The measurements are recorded automatically, and the extensive effort for manual measurement and documentation is largely eliminated.
