In order to optimize your quality process, FOERSTER, a FANUC America Authorized Integrator, creates state-of-the-art systems utilizing advanced FANUC robotic technology that is fast, accurate and reliable for non-destructive testing of metal component parts.
Customization is key when determining exactly what types of components need tested. FOERSTER designs the appropriate FANUC robot test station for your application. These systems can be customized and configured to meet even the most demanding specifications for virtually any industry. Each station can be set up to use any FOERSTER Eddy Current instrument, to test for crack detection, heat treat inspection and gauging. The test cell, along with your desired FOERSTER testing equipment, would include a multitude of varying robotic machinery. This test station uses a complete multi-axis FANUC LR Mate 200iD robot to handle both component transferring and testing. The machinery and technology used is dependent on your particular application and product. The FOERSTER STATOGRAPH ECM and MAGNATEST D non-destructive testing technologies are used to check for cracks and heat treat results. FOERSTER can also provide remote access to the system for any type of commissioning and troubleshooting. The operator interface can be accessed the same way, giving the FOERSTER technical support team the ability to assist with the operation or resolve programming issues. Resolving issues remotely translates to saving the customer valuable time and money.
Each test station follows a simple process for each component. Visual inspection technology is applied to identify the component. Based on the part ID, the correct test parameters are automatically selected. The highly versatile FANUC LR Mate 200iD robot loads the component into test position and inspects even the most complex of contours. Differential eddy-current probes are used for inspection while the unique clearance compensation function ensures reliable evaluation. Test reports with piece count and quality statistics are available for each test request.
