Gaps and Steps Control Application

PM Series Profile Sensor

In white goods production facilities, on-line assembly controls are one of the critical processes that directly affect the final product quality. In devices such as ovens, dishwashers, dryers or refrigerators, gaps and step differences between parts are frequently encountered difficulties during the assembly processes. These measurements affect many factors from the aesthetic appearance of the products to their functional performance. Especially important components such as control panels, kick plates or top tables, when not assembled within the specified tolerance ranges, can cause both visual and structural problems. The human factor in manual controls increases the margin of error of these millimetric differences that are difficult to see with the eye. This is where PM Series Profile Sensors come into play and provide a perfect solution to the need for on-line measurement.

For example, in a dishwasher production line, the gaps between two parts after assembly are scanned by the system, and if the required tolerances are exceeded, the system immediately gives a warning so that the necessary actions can be taken.

Specifications and Advantages

The main advantages that PM Series Profile Sensors bring to white goods production lines are:

Millimetric Precision: The PM series can detect even smaller measurement differences of 1mm, thus ensuring continuity of production quality.

Integrated Measurement with Automation: By integrating measurement results into automation systems, corrective measures can be taken immediately without any interruption in on-line processes.

Personnel Efficiency: Since automatic measurement is performed via sensors instead of manual measurement processes, personnel can be evaluated in other production processes.

Protection of Quality Standards: It checks with precision whether each white goods model complies with the specified assembly standards.

Data Recording and Analysis: By recording measurement results by the system, retrospective analyses can be performed and quality processes can be optimized.

Advanced Imaging Technology

PM Series Profile Sensors are equipped with advanced optical and image processing technology. It automatically detects and measures gaps and steps differences between parts in white goods production lines. This system goes beyond manual measurement methods and offers continuous and fast measurement capability with millimetric even micron precision. By integrating the sensors into the production line, the gaps and steps differences at the assembly points of critical components such as kick plates, top tables, control panels etc. are measured instantly and corrective actions are taken when necessary.

Assembly errors in white goods production play a critical role in terms of product performance and customer satisfaction. PM Series Profile Sensors automatically ensure assembly accuracy in production lines, making gap and step difference measurements with high precision. In this way, the quality of the final product is increased, production costs are reduced and product recall risks are minimized.

This technological solution goes beyond manual controls in the sector and ensures that production efficiency and quality standards are kept at the highest level. PM Series sensors stand out as an innovative and reliable system that takes quality assurance standards to the next level in the production line.
