12/2007 Fiducial mark inspection during catalyst assembly


Friedberg, 11.11.2007 - The company Kirschenhofer GmbH specializes in the development and fabrication of plants for the production of catalytic converters and particulate filters.

One step during the production of catalytic converters consists of casing the fiber-mat-sheathed monoliths with metal (canning). When doing so, the precise feed of the metal casing is of great importance. Inaccuracies during positioning lead to faulty alignment of the connection recesses for lambda probes and thermocouples resulting in the elimination of the catalysts as defective goods.

Pauker's engineers have developed an image processing system for detection of fiducial marks on the sheathed pipes, which will now serially complement the canning machines of the company Kirschenhofer. The detection of the various fiducial marks with a precision of +/-0.1mm enables a precise alignment of the casing. Unlike in other existing detection systems, where the inspection is carried out by means of light sensors, the engineers of Pauker rely on color area cameras, which enable the detection of the most diverse fiducial marks (color distribution, form, position, label) and can thereby be utilized for a broad range of products.
