FORMING AND FABRICATING AUTOMATION
I n a challenging economic climate, metal formers scan for opportunities to tighten their operations, eliminate excess material handling and offer added value to their products. In-die technology is an excellent way to achieve all of that. Tapping, clinching, fastening and even vi- sual inspection can be performed in the die— saving huge amounts of time and the expense of performing those operations separately, downstream, with the accompanying double material handling and stacking. A Stitch In-Die Saves Time
Video Weld Inspection Ideal for Automotive Applications H they need to run their robotic-welding operations.
ere, Vitronic showcases its zero-defect vision technology for weld inspection, paired with Lincoln Electric welding technology and a Kuka Robotics industrial robot for fully integrated inline inspection. The system takes in welding data and information from the robot, then merges it to give users the data points
