Auxiliar de Montagem Inteligente para Transportadores de Peças usados na Indentificação Indutiva

LuK GmbH & Co. oHG is an internationally active company of the Schaeffler Group. At eighteen locations all over the world, clutches for motor vehicles and tractors are produced and sold to automotive manufacturers all over the world. One in four new motor vehicles in the world leaves the assembly line with a clutch from LuK.

To produce clutches at LuK in the German town of Bühl/Baden the product is transported on work piece carriers. These work piece carriers are fitted with Pepperl+Fuchs’ inductive IDENT Control RFID read/write technology.

At some conveyor lines, the transport direction changes by 90°. The work piece carrier has an IDC-15-1K data carrier (lateral reading and writing at the roller conveyor with IVH-M1K). If the direction of travel of the work piece carrier changes by 90°, the data carrier is no longer in a potential read/write area. In the past, a complicated mechanical system (lifting cylinder) was used to place the work piece carrier so that it could be read and written with a 90° turn.

This work increased the production time (cycle time) and was cost-intensive as well.

A Pepperl+Fuchs desenvolveu um suporte para o carregador de dados IDC-15-1K, que permite a leitura e a escrita dos dois lados (ver Fig.1). O carregador de dados é colocado numa ferramenta de montagem IVZ-MH15.
