Analys av automatisk och manuell kvalitetssäkring

Abstract

This project was carried out at the Stena Industry Innovation Laboratory at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. The client Volvo Penta wants to run an automated quality inspection in the last stage of production before sending the products to the clients. The purpose of this report is to analyze the possibilities of using a vision system to run a quality inspection in the final department in the production. Quality inspection is the last step in the production. Because of competitiveness and globalization quality inspection is one of the most important steps in the production. When products are completed and ready to send to the clients a quality inspection has to run on them. Today the quality inspection is done manually of the personals to be sure that everything is as it should. Considering that a new technology could bring efficiency in manufacturing, increase productivity and improve ergonomics, an automated quality inspection seems as a step forward in the modern industry. Automated quality control in this thesis work will be investigated using collaborative robot applications UR3e and vision systems Wrist Camera. This experiment with visions system and even previous studies in this area shows that using an automatic quality inspection is possible.
