SMAC - Three Dimensional Applications
SMAC Three Dimensional Applications
SMAC is pleased to introduce its range of Multi–Axis control solutions. These systems deliver the capability to learn and follow a 3D contour or motion path with a high degree of speed, precision, accuracy and repeatability. All combinations of SMAC actuators can be used: linear, rotary and linear/rotary.
Complex programming is not required, as the user can simply manually trace the 3D path required by the actuators, which is then automatically stored in the controller's memory. The systems also utilize linear interpolation, which enables a constant speed while following the chosen XYZ axis contour. A few ideal applications include measuring and testing (QC), depositing, machining, scoring and cutting.
SMAC Multi–Axis 3D systems are unique, as they enable total programmability of speed, position and force all at the same time and with an exceptional degree of accuracy and repeatability.
SMAC offers a complete plug-in solution with a range of highly flexible control interfaces.
Airbag Base Bore Gauging and Groove Inspection
The fully automated solution which was originally conducted by human hand is now used to 100% measure and test inline production of air bag components, which require a total of nine independent checks, two checks externally on the component and seven checks internally within the part. The cycle time from start to finish for each component is less than 2.5 seconds. It runs 24/7 and enables 100% data feedback and verification of each individual test on each individual part.
Key Operational Details
- 100% in-process inspection of air bag bases, which are safety-critical components
- Two external features and seven internal features inspected
- Using LAS95-15 & LAL35-50 to create an X-Y and plug gauge
- 1.2 second cycle time
- 24/7 operation
- Data acquisition capability
- Soft-land prevents damage
- Controlled force ensures measurement repeatability
- Automatically checks bore diameter, bore depth and undercut
