Paint layer detection system

Key Features

Local detection of transparent paint layers applied to transparent material according to adjustment in an area of maximum 15 mm²
Differential method for evaluating the presence of individual layers
Capable of detecting layer thicknesses ranging from 1.5 to 23 μm
Evaluating and signalling the presence of a layer according to the limit setting
System solution for rapid product change/production variations
Designed for static mounting or mounting on an interchangeable mounting fixture
Triggering of the detector by a pulse on the signal input
Storage of the last 54 detections with the possibility of reading them into the PC (permanent memory in the control unit)
Setup using the PC application “PSKLAK setup” and the cable for the configuration of the detection probe (RS232 interface), or adjustment of the limits using the touch screen (accessory)
Use of Bluetooth (data transmission) and non-contact (induction principle) power supply for the detection probe

Product description

The system is designed to detect the presence of external hard coating (HC) and internal anti-fog (AF) coatings on automotive headlamp covers. Detection is carried out at a point with full transparency of the material over a circular area of approximately 15 mm² (depending on the alignment of the detection probe). The system consists of a detection probe (smart sensor), a control unit and optionally a non-contact power supply system for powering the probe. The detection probe contains its own paint layer sensor and evaluation unit. Signal transmission with evaluation results is possible wirelessly via Bluetooth connection or via cable – direct signals from/to the probe. The way the probe is installed determines the scope of the detection system set.

Sets for installation on interchangeable loading jigs (so-called press heads) allow automatic change of the production product according to the machine design. They contain the same number of detection probes as the fixtures. The control of the active probe is provided by a control unit connected to the machine control system (e.g. PLC). The probe can be powered by a non-contact power supply system (suitable for single-purpose machines such as horizontal presses) or by direct cable (attachment to the robot arm head). Full integration of the paint detection system with mechanical locking of the headlight glass position during detection is used.

Sets for installing detection probes in the static position of the machine workspace (e.g. robot) allow the detection location to be changed variably/dynamically. The robot arm positions the glass to be tested to the desired test point. This method of installation requires the robot to be able to provide repeatable accurate positioning and stability of the arm.

In all of these cases, a detection system is used in a set of detection probes and a control unit from which evaluation states are signalled to the control system.

Another option is to install a separate detection probe using the control and evaluation signals directly from the probe to the control system. In this case, the functionality of the system is limited (no possibility of viewing and archiving the measurements, the cable length must not exceed 5 m).
