What is the Cylinder Head Water Jacket Inspection?
The inspection system is part of the inline conveyor production process. The parts are gripped in the first position of the device and transferred between the individual positions of the inspection system. The total number of positions is not limited in any way. In each inspection position, a set of specially designed probes is automatically fed to the cylinder head to check the passage of the channels. The evaluation is fully automatic. In the last station of the machine there is a marking of parts and sorting on an NOK conveyor.
With this application it is possible to achieve a part-to-part cycle time from 15s. Depending on the requirements, all technologies from the DQI workshop can be integrated into the system.
Detection Capabilities
- Full blockages anywhere in the water jacket core
- Partial blockages in the visible areas of the core
- Presence of machining chips and sand blobs
Additional measurements:
- Dimensions of the castings
- Position of sand cores to the casting
Benefits
- Fully automated inspection of all channels
- Short cycle time
- Integration of multiple inspection technologies
- Simple maintenance
