Assembly line test equipmentThe Run In Test Cell was developed for a major hand tool manufacturer to test and run in the armature brushes in the motor of newly manufactured hand tools to ascertain:

  1. That the motor ran correctly
  2. That the brushes were run in for the proper preset time
  3. The current flow to the motor met the manufacturer's specifications

This machine is a fully enclosed, sound dampened, eight station rotating table with applicable fixturing to handle the output of a production line. Incorporated in the rotating table is an internal air and brush dust removal system. All control is accomplished with the use of an Allen Bradley SLC500 processor. The table is indexed by a Camco Indexing Unit.

production line quality controlThe machine can be set to run automatically or operator indexed through the use of Banner OPTO Touch Buttons. To operate the machine the operator loads a hand tool into the fixture and presses the OPTO Touch Buttons. At the start of rotation the hand tool starts to run and will run in for pre-programmed time period. At the end of this time period the hand tool will cycle off and simply continue around to station one where the operator is. Indicator lights at the operator's station indicate the status of the tested hand tool. The hand tool can now be removed and processed accordingly. The operator can now load a new tool in the fixture and the process continues. At each station there are suction tubes to evacuate heat and brush dust built up as a result of running hand tools.
A variety of tests can be incorporated into the Run In cell depending on customer's requirements and type of hand tool. Cycle time is a function of time required to Run In a hand tool. Typically run times are between 60 and 75 seconds to lower current draw to normal specification and wear in brushes.
