How does SIMATIC VS 110 work?

SIMATIC VS 110
Lighting unit (infrared, backlighting)
Pneumatic valves can be activated directly
Sensor head (camera)
Processing unit
Conveyor medium with test objects
Customer advantages
Remote control
(via any PLC)
SIMATIC VS 110
A&D AS SM 5, 06/2002 7
Which test objects can be inspected?

SIMATIC VS 110
Small parts
from 4 x 4 x 1 mm to 59 x 45 x 20 mm must pass by in one or two distinctive
views
Features relevant for inspection

must
be clearly recognizable in the contour
Typical examples:
Screws, bolts:
Customer advantages
Type recognition, thread present? Injection-molded components: Test objects correctly formed, correctly aligned for infeed? Pharmaceutical products: Tablets correctly formed/broken? Confectionary: Sweets or chocolates correctly formed/mis-shaped?

Where do the Bad parts go?

SIMATIC VS 110
Pneumatic valves or miniature relays can be directly activated

for
ejecting or rotating the test objects Time response of the outputs is adjustable for manipulation at the correct point of the process
Ejection by
Blast
nozzle Pneumatic cylinder Magnet or Downstream PLC with separate ejection control
Customer advantages
!
SIMATIC VS 110
A stand-alone solution can be implemented - without an additonal PLC!
