We use Festo air systems to detect that our parts are in place. It measures the back pressure, so if the part is not seated properly not all of the air holes are covered and the back pressure will be too low. It works ok, but people get annoyed with nuisance faults and they adjust the air pressure so they do not get any faults. Then when there is an actual problem we ruin a spindle.
What other part detection systems are out there that may be a better fit? |
