Solutions K Fallstudien K 3D height and tumbling circle inspection on plug connections

Initial situation

3D height and tumbling circle inspection on plug connections In the field of power electronics, currents flows in a considerable rate. In addition, safety-relevant sensors distribute their information in the vehicle’s on-board network via a large number of connectors.

A 100% quality is a basic requirement for a reliable function for all environmental conditions in the mentioned application areas above.

Implementation

In conjunction with a laser triangulation sensor, a height profile image of the complete connector is generated. Depending on the manufacturing process, the sensor can be moved with one axis over the connector or the connector can be moved past the sensor. Positions of the individual pins are measured in X and Y position (wobble circle). In addition, the dimensional accuracy is measured in the “Z” height of the pins. Depending on the design of the connector, other features such as connector contour or connector coding can be checked and queried.

Parameters

  • Capable of measuring
  • Accuracy in 1/10mm
  • Measured value logging

Customer benefits

The visualization provides the customer with a precise overview of the measured values and parameters. All measured values can be saved in conjunction with the connector ID, thus facilitating traceability.

Image recording can also be used to record all image data from the connector, making it available for reporting and analysis.
