The equipment is developed to test VW Climatronic devices in the assembly line. Through CAN communication, Climatronic EEPROM parameters are read, and they are checked against the final label data and the product configuration file, provided by the manufacturer. If everything is correct, the cabin opens automatically so that the operator leaves the product in its storage box
Multidisciplinary project that involves mechanical, pneumatic, electrical and software design and construction, fully developed in LabVIEW. It integrates industrial digital I / O devices, a National Instruments CAN bus interface, and different peripherals: Keyence code reader, RFID card reader, security curtains, etc
The automatic gate mechanism has been designed in a wear-resistant manner to optimize maintenance interventions.
Improve the handling of the OK / NOK product from the moment it leaves the functional test station until it is stored in its final box before entering the plant’s warehouse
Provide a closed cabin, which opens automatically if the result of an automatic final test is positive, and remains closed without the permission of a supervisor.
Several units with different sizes and configurations have been manufactured from this type of machine, depending on the product version and the location on the assembly line in the production plant.
