Aerospace Applications
Improve Your Aerospace Manufacturing Processes
Our goal at In-Position Technologies is to help you succeed in your process improvement projects. The Aerospace Industry can benefit greatly by optimizing their processes with automatic machine vision and barcode reading systems for measuring, inspecting and traceability. Robotic Arms and mobile robots can also be used in packaging and palletizing applications to reduce operating costs and increase overall efficiency.
Solutions for Aerospace Manufacturing
Machine Vision
2D or 3D Vision can inspect parts and perform other quality checks and traceability tasks. 2D Machine vision Smart Cameras and processors can be used to automate part inspection and quality control. Datalogic offers Gig-E and smart cameras, vision sensors and vision processors.
Laser Line Profilers and Structured Light Vision perform quality inspections in 3D. Instantaneously measure things like length, width, depth, hole diameters, flatness, convexity, concavity, volume, shape profiles and much more.
Quality Control
Laser Line Profilers and 3D Sensors can be used to perform quality control measurements down to the sub micron level of precision.
Measurements such as:
• Flatness
• Volume
• Length, Width, Height
• Hole Diameter and Depth
• Angles
• And more
Can instantaneously be captured to simplify and improve quality inspections.
Traceability
Improve quality and protect your company by tracking and tracing products as they flow through your facility, limiting product liability and avoiding recalls. For some products, tracking and tracing is required by FDA regulation. Read our detailed Traceability white paper here and our white paper on Unique Device Identifiers (UDIs) here.
Handheld scanners
help you stay on top of maintenance activities, identifying parts for return and repair, track assets, handle work orders and other activities. Antimicrobial options with disinfectant-ready enclosures are available.
In-line barcode readers
are used to verify barcode data and track assets as they flow through the manufacturing and sales process. Read our white paper on labeling and bar code reading.
Laser Markers
can solve traceability problems by permanently marking your parts with a unique identifier. Lasers can have a relatively high entry cost but with their long life, low maintenance, improved text readability and lack of consumables, have lower total cost of ownership than inkject printers. Read our whitepaper on laser marking.
Robots
SCARA style robots have high-speed capabilities and are suitable for assembly, pick and place and dispensing applications.
Industrial or Traditional Style Robots are good fits for heavy payload and high-speed applications.
Applications
Aerospace applications for robotic arms include: Packaging and Palletizing, Screw Fastening, Sanding/Polishing, Deburring, Painting.
MIG Welding
Deburring on-robot
Deburring off-robot
Sanding/Polishing
Screw Driving
Machine Tending
Glue Dispensing
Automated Material Handling
Mobile Robots can be used to replace manually pushing carts or delivering material.
Applications:
• Replace Forklifts or Tuggers
• Replace Pushing Carts or Trolleys
• Bring raw materials to production line
Precision Control
SMAC Electric Coil Actuators have a small package and economic price tag to allow them to competitively replace pneumatics. Especially if the application requires force or position control.
Products:
• Electric Actuators
• Servos & Steppers
• Gearboxes
• Linear Motors
• Cartesian Robots
Conveyors
Conveyors are a simple way to automate and improve process flow. We have conveyor solutions for both standard manufacturing environments and washdown, clean room environments. QC Conveyors provide ease-of-use and time savings as they have a tool-less design for cleaning, swapping and tensioning belts.
We also offer plastic chain conveyors for applications that require a long travel distance or change in elevation. Plastic chain is a good fit for the following applications:
• Alpine Conveyor System
• Elevator Conveyor System
• Lengths up to 100′
TSLOTS
TSLOTS by Bonnell Aluminum are the leading T-slotted aluminum extrusions manufactured, distributed and sold by an aluminum extruder. That means you get the most consistent quality and one of the most extensive offerings in the industry. You never have to worry about color or finish, because all TSLOTS meet the same extremely high standards. TSLOTS Aluminum Extrusions help you quickly and easily create anything from clean rooms to robot enclosures. You simply insert a T-nut and fastener into TSLOTS and tighten. All you need are a few simple hand tools to create a durable, strong, lightweight structure that’s both functional and attractive.
