ATS Integrates Station for Pressing Magnet Control at a Car Component Manufacturer

Purpose

• Implementation of pressing magnet control station into the existing line. The line produces electro motors for ABS
• New station tests stator magnet quality to motor housing

Project Scope

• Automated validation of the quality of magnets by use of several tools and testing methods (pressure)
• Station should be placed into existing line layout – minimum space installation
• Station should be implemented within 2 shifts without any impact on planned production

Solution Approach

• Enable evaluation of OK/NOK status for each tested component
• All NOK pieces should be highlighted and removed without stopping production

Systems & Tools

• Bosch conveyor system approach
• PLC Siemens S7-300
• HMI KTP400
• TIA Portal V15
