Detection of Rivets in Robot-Guided Punch Riveting via Inductive Ring Sensors
In the automotive industry, aluminum body parts are joined using rivets. In the case of robot-controlled punch riveting, the objects made of aluminum or brass are conveyed directly to the punching device through plastic hoses by compressed air. Before the rivets are applied automatically, the correct routing through the hose must be checked. For this purpose, an inductive ring sensor is installed on the hose via a clamp fastening. Thanks to the correction factor 1 and the adjustable sensitivity, objects of different sizes and alloys can be reliably detected.
Inductive Ring Sensors
Inductive ring sensors enable precise and reliable detection of small metal parts from a minimum size of 2.5 mm in feed hoses. The sensors can be quickly and flexibly mounted and removed from the hose thanks to the separable housing.
