This clutch disc system is scalable; it allows the user to add addition parts.  All part information is stored in SQL Server Database which provides detailed inspection results with summary statistics. This system applies Cognex 3D Laser Profiler for Inspection.

Automatic 3D inspection of the top and bottom of a clutch disc assembly for:

• Rivet Presence
• Rivet Height
• Rivet Diameter
• Rivet Volume
• Coil Spring diameter and pitch
• Perimeter Arc Spring diameter and pitch

3D Laser Displacement vs. LVDT (PROS):

• No contact with sample.
• Flexibility of configuration for different features
• Variable measurement ranges
• Continuous surface measurement
• Ability to generate a 2D and/or 3D Image from sampled profile
• Ability to apply traditional machine vision tools to generated images
• Ability to identify other characteristics about feature being measured (volume, diameter, surface finish etc.)
• Higher measurement frequency
• Features to be measured/Inspected can be increased easily (time dependent)
• Much wider range of applications
