IP67-Switches beschleunigen die Inbetriebnahme von Montage- und Prüfanlagen
IP67 switches speed up the commissioning of assembly and test systems
In machine building, IP67 switches network individual workstations
The assembly and leak test systems from KMS Automation used in the automotive industry are built to user specifications. IP67 switches network the individual workstations in the systems at KMS Automation GmbH. That is why the compact switches with easily accessible cable ducts allow the stations to be quickly connected to the Ethernet network.
KMS Automation GmbH develops and manufactures assembly and leak test systems
KMS Automation GmbH develops and manufactures assembly and leak test systems, which are individually tailored to cast components such as gearboxes and motors for the automotive industry and its suppliers, among other things. The owner-operated company employs around 60 people.
Ethernet network as the basis of communication for a modular manufacturing concept
Depending on the component, the cast components go through several steps in which they are assembled and repeatedly checked. It is particularly important to test for pressure leaks. The challenge here is that components which have not yet been finally assembled and which have several openings must be checked. To carry out a leak test on the part level, the parts must be optimally clamped in the station, ensuring the relevant geometry is adhered to. Test pressure is then applied to the parts by the leak test system to check whether the pressure is maintained.
To integrate various technology components such as screwdriver controls, camera sensors, force-distance measuring systems, and operator panels in the individual workstations, KMS Automation uses an industrial Ethernet network. At the same time, the standard provides the basis of communication for a modular manufacturing concept.
M12 switches from Phoenix Contact simplify the Ethernet connection of our components. In addition, we can connect the workstations flexibly, which speeds up commissioning for our end customers.
