Quality Control Sample Applications

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information on SMAC actuators and their applications in various testing and inspection processes. It highlights the advantages of using SMAC actuators, such as high precision, programmable force profiles, and the ability to measure and report data to a central system.
Key Sections:
  • Actuator Specifications: The document lists various actuators like LAL-95, LAL-35, and LAL-30, detailing their stroke, resolution, force, moving mass, and supply voltage. These specifications are crucial for selecting the appropriate actuator for specific applications.
  • Applications: The document describes several applications of SMAC actuators, including:
    • Human Interface Testing: Used for latch inspection to ensure proper operation by measuring force and position.
    • Contact Inspection: Includes tube bend tests, soft contact lens mold inspection, rod eccentricity measurement, and TV tube inspection. Each application emphasizes the precision and reproducibility of measurements.
    • Material Testing: SMAC actuators are used for tensile, compression, shear, and accelerated life testing. Specific tests include biomaterials mechanical tests, filament tests, and suture strength tests.
    • Impact Simulation: Actuators simulate impact damage on materials, measuring forces and positions to assess material durability.
  • Product Catalog: Lists SMAC products, including linear/rotary actuators, grippers, XY actuators, and controllers/amplifiers.
  • Part Numbering System: Provides part numbers for actuators and cables, facilitating easy identification and ordering.
Critical Information: The document emphasizes the importance of precise force and position control in testing applications. SMAC actuators offer advantages like high-speed operation, long life, and the ability to transition between position and force modes seamlessly.

Fuel Injector Plug The bore inside a fuel injector assembled part is gauged with a plug gage on the end of the LAL20-25 (*With a max of 100 grams force*) to detect if the hole is undersized (crushed or dented in) with out marking the part during the plug gage process. The bore is in a deep drawn metal part inside of a plastic injection molded body, and sometimes the bore is crushed when the injection molding is done. ՕSome of the current systems of LVDTs/ Load cells and air cylinders were leaving marks on the part, which caused them to be rejected by the end customer (a major automobile manufacturer)....
