From precision machining, polishing and grinding to engine assembly, transmission and powertrain components, Balluff identification systems act as the "smart eye" in start-up and braking, enabling tracking applications for products during the automotive manufacturing process and storing all data for later traceability, so that errors can always be avoided. Defective parts are tracked and returned or corrected. The identification process is completely automatic, reliable and fast.
Trace the casting pattern
The combination of the sensors of the BIS M series of Balluff identification systems and the coding blocks embedded in the mould ensures that all moulds are stored correctly and ready for the next use. Proper storage is important, especially for complex casting processes, where many molds have the potential to be used immediately. When the mold is transferred to the casting process, it can be checked again before to confirm the correctness of the selection.
Identification of pallets
RFID pallet data tracking is a major part of complex production operations. By using RFID read/write heads and coding blocks mounted on products or pallets, RFID systems are able to track parts and production steps, from raw materials to final delivery. Sensors are able to record multiple products on the same flexible production line and schedule them to meet the customer's production style, or process multiple parts on a single line at the same time.
Trace the die
Special information on the identification, adjustment and use of the die is particularly critical for the entire metal stamping quality step. The previous manually adjusted solution was too inefficient. If a die is installed, it may cause damage if the hardware is wired. The Balluff BIS RFID identification system series tracks, measures and displays the use of the die, reduces wiring and plugs, and records and stores the die information without the need for additional hardwiring – a major breakthrough in the stamping process.
High-speed recording of information
In order to be able to achieve efficient body machining operations, it is necessary to identify the body mounting pallet and to record all pallet-related operations, such as what happened at what time and in which position. The Balluff BIS L RFID system is read/write capable, recognises all relevant markings and fully records the body information of the individual vehicle.
epilogue
With high-quality Balluff identification systems, car manufacturers are helping to reduce breakdowns, increase productivity, gain market share, achieve higher sales and achieve optimal customer satisfaction.
