Machine-operator access to 100% quality inspection of micro-part dimensions is available with the new PowerVision option from Wittmann Battenfeld, Torrington, Conn. At the Fakuma show in Germany next month, the company will exhibit a 15-metric-ton MicroPower micromolding system with a Wittmann W8VS2 SCARA robot, In-Sight Micro digital camera from Cognex Corp. (Natick, Mass.), and Cognex In-Sight Explorer vision software integrated with the MicroPower’s Unilog B6 control and the robot’s R8.2 control. The MicroPower press is equipped with a rotary mold table on the ejector side so that molded parts can be inspected outside the molding area without interrupting the cycle.
