Equipment level

Issues

The bonding in the metal fin caulking process is weak, leading to fins becoming detached due to defective bonding occurs in later processes.

Solution

Utilize AI to prevent bonding defects in the caulking process

Use the similar waveform recognition function of MELSOFT MaiLab to create diagnostic rules by learning the waveform data of press loads during normal operation and correlating it with bonding defects.
Press load data is collected in real time by the MELIPC industrial-use PC and then diagnosed based on rules using MELSOFT MaiLab, allowing for bonding defects to be detected, which are then fed back to the equipment (causing equipment to stop).

Benefits

Defect outflows to later processes are prevented through real-time detection of bonding defects.
