Sensing Systems for Manufacturing
By: John Derry, Applications Engineer, Promess, Inc An overly complex assembly process can become the downfall of what would otherwise be a successful project. The main areas that tend to add to the complexity of an assembly process are the initial design, the integration and setup, quality assurance along with maintaining and supporting the …

Application The most common assembly process for composite parts is compression molding. Material is inserted between coordinated metal dies and then pressed together under a high amount of force. Challenge The customer was previously using hydraulic presses and running into issues with inconsistent parts. The customer needed to be …
Lithium ion batteries (li-ion batteries) are the technology of choice for applications ranging from handheld electronics to “plug-and-drive” vehicles and back-up power systems for server farms and other critical systems. Their performance characteristics are the result of a very delicately balanced set of chemical, electrical, and physical …

Valve manufacturers today are able to inspect parts during assembly rather than after to produce near-perfect fluid pressure relief valves. The Promess Electro-Mechanical Assembly Press (EMAP) uses no pneumatics or hydraulics; instead, press motion is initiated by a servomotor and ball screw. A computer monitors the press ram’s position …

The need for data collection in manufacturing is well established. For decades now, the idea has been pushed pretty hard, and most (successful) companies have gotten on board. Quality of individual assemblies, efficiency & effectiveness of processes, and environmental impact, all stand to be improved with relevant data. But, (and here’s …
