隨著工業技術的進步,密封元件產品之需求隨之不斷增加,其中油封零件在車輛產業中有重要的優勢,其品質的優劣,決定了車輛工作的性能。因此本計畫與K公司合作,藉由產學合作開發自動化塗膠與檢測系統,希望能改良該公司現有產能與品質的問題。 本研究針對解油封製程的各項工作程序進行瞭解,找出需要導入自動化的製程。依據人工與品質等因素進行評估後,決定以塗膠程序為優先改良的區塊。由於塗膠原料會產生有毒氣體,對人體造成傷害,因此本研究首先利用TRIZ創新原理設計一套進出料機構與自動塗膠技術,再以機器手臂執行油封的取放作業,達成無人化操作。為了查看塗膠品質,本研究另設計一套影像辨識流程,可判斷塗膠是否出現瑕疵。統合了油封的自動取放、塗膠與品質檢測等技術,本項製程得以達到全自動化,大幅節省人力成本,且能確保產品的品質。
With the advancement of industrial technology, the demand for sealing element products continues to increase. Among them, oil seals have important advantages in the vehicle industry, and their quality determines the performance of the vehicle. Therefore, this project cooperates with K company to develop an automated glue dispensing and inspection system, hoping to improve the company's production capacity and quality problems. This research firstly aims to study the manufacturing procedures of the oil seals, and finds out the processes that need to be automated. After evaluating based on factors such as labor and quality, it is determined that the glue dispensing process is the most important area to improve. Since the raw materials will produce toxic gas and cause harm to the human body, this research uses the innovative principle of TRIZ to design a set of feeding and discharging mechanism and automatic gluing technology, and then uses the robotic arm to perform the operation to achieve unmanned operation. In order to check the quality of the dispensing, this research designed an image recognition process to determine whether there are defects in the glue. Integrating the automatic pick-and-place, glue dispensing and quality inspection technologies, this process can be fully automated, which greatly saves labor costs and ensures product quality.
