PLUS Automation & Contrinex Loveđź’•Automotive Manufacturing- Auto.PLUSAx.co.uk

To illustrate PLUS Automation's love of the Automotive manufacturing industry on Valentine's Day, here are two example applications of sensors from Contrinex, solving problems and saving money on automotive manufacturing equipment.

To read more about the applications, click on the link, or call me on 0121 58 222 58 or email [email protected], to discuss how I can help you solve a problem and save money on sensors.

There is a wider selection of applications, across many industries at Apps.PLUSAx.co.uk, plus I post an example application every week on LinkedIn, plus at least one piece of good news about the UK’s manufacturing industry – www.LinkedIn.com/in/MWeymouth/

Application - FIBRE-OPTIC MONITORING OF PARKING-BRAKE CABLE

During manufacture of automotive parking-brake cable, multiple strands of steel wire are twisted together, forming a single cable. After twisting, cable passes to the next process in an unsupported, continuous length. Occasionally, the cable breaks, compromising safety and damaging equipment. Although the cable’s exact path is unpredictable, a Contrinex multi-beam fibre-optic sensor detects its presence, interrupting the process if it breaks.

Application - RFID MONITORING OF PAINT CURING LINE

A manufacturer of automotive-suspension coil springs uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to identify parts and monitor process status in an automated paint shop. Parts travel on dedicated transport frames; each transport frame, suspended from an overhead conveyor, is fitted with a high-frequency, high-temperature RFID tag. During the paint-curing cycle, temperatures may rise to 250°C (482°F) for more than 30 minutes. Contrinex high-temperature transponders operate reliably in this range.
