GAGING SYSTEMS
Vibcon Corporation offers four styles of gaging systems.
MECHANICAL - The parts are normally fed through a feed system to a pneumatic shuttle that places one part at a time into a fixture where a cylinder will feed down and touch the part at a specific point and then using a LVDT sensor or proximity switch or other sensing device will measure the part. The part is then ejected down good or bad chutes.
OPTIC/CAMERA - This is similar to mechanical but can be done "on the fly" with the parts feeding down a conveyor. Misoriented parts are kicked off the belt and good parts continue on.
WEIGHT - This is similar to the mechanical except weight of the part is used instead of sensor. Very good for complex plastic molded parts.
SORTING - This can be done either in a bowl feeder or mechanically.
