Metris VDP Analyzer is a further development of the camera-based Visual Die Protection system. In addition to the images, it also displays the associated data. By examining the data series over a day or a shift, the relevant times when process fluctuations or machine stops occurred can be quickly identified. This enables the causes of stops to be analyzed and of appropriate changes implemented.
Identify causes. Fix errors.
Reliable analysis, hub by hub.
Navigate through the production process hub by hub and determine, for example, whether all parts are consistently placed in the correct position or if unintended fluctuations occur. With this analysis, you can optimize the adjustment of the transfer grippers or guides. Tests at different stroke rates can also be conducted to determine at which stroke rates the processes run stably, and whether further increasing the stroke rate further leads to a higher throughput.
"In the visualization, an overview of when deviations from the normal state occurred can be quickly gained based on the deflections in the time curve. From the recordings, it can be recognized, for example, that parts lie on a centering pin and are not threaded, or that punch waste repeatedly accumulates in a specific scrap chute."
VDP Analyzer ensures more process stability and output.
Metris VDP Analyzer ensures more process stability and output. Using the Metris VDP Analyzer, future system downtimes can be prevented, thereby increasing process stability and ultimately the output. The system also allows of time series and image data to be output for documentation purposes and future comparisons. The Metris Visual Die Protection Analyzer can be accessed at the system, or optionally deployed remotely from an office workstation.Image data from the system can be exported for documentation purposes and for sharing with relevant employees.
