Inline Assembly & Leak-Test Station
Placeholder case study: a turnkey assembly and leak-test station with servo press, vision check, and PLC/HMI control. Swap this copy and photos when a real line is ready to publish.
Overview
This sample project shows how DevBrix Engineering would design a compact inline station: mechanical fixture, motion, sensors, and operator HMI in one cell, ready to sit beside an existing conveyor.
Highlights
- Servo press with programmable force/position profiles
- Vision presence check before leak test
- Cycle time target under 12 seconds
- Recipe changeover from the HMI in under two minutes
Challenges
- Hold mixed part variants without a full fixture swap.
- Keep leak-test dwell time without missing takt.
- Give operators a clear pass/fail path with traceable results.
Solutions
- Quick-change nest plates keyed to each SKU.
- Parallel leak-test while the next part is loaded.
- Barcode scan plus timestamped result log to the line PC.
Features
- Siemens / Mitsubishi PLC with local HMI
- Safety interlocks and light curtains
- Reject chute with reason codes
Key Results
- Placeholder: replace with measured OEE, scrap, and cycle-time numbers.
- Built as a standalone cell so it can move between lines.
Sample automation case for the DevBrix Engineering site. Content and images can be replaced with a delivered project.
The station combines a servo press, vision, and leak-test in one footprint.
Controls, safety, and HMI are delivered as one package with the mechanical build.
