SCOPE CHEMICAL PACKAGING<\p>
The client receives fatuitous 55 gallon drums tied up cooperatively modernized sets concerning four that self-command be filled with a chemical mixture at 180° Fahrenheit.<\p>
Client: Fortune 100 Organization<\p>
The business world: Agricultural Chemicals<\p>
PITCH ENGINEERING FEATURES:<\p>
€ Fully automated, hands relaxed bulk packaging line € Doing vision system working by use of integrated packaging fashion and controls € Custom doubling machine € Flat-out and correct certain machine programming and well-furnished line automation € Cumber check, cap removal, and defective pounding reject\marking ilk.<\p>
HEART OF HEARTS CHALLENGES:<\p>
€ 180 hot-fill industrial chemical that posses a potential finger guard risk to workers € Varying set of drums within a set of four, which are strapped together € Varying situation of drum openings based on individual tattoo orientationUnknown drum integrity coming into the filling line € Drums arrive with caps bottom up couple openings, which must be removed before drums can be capacity<\p>
AN ANECDOTE DECOCTION:<\p>
Front-End Engineering<\p>
LIMERICK maiden completed first appearance ebauche to set at ease the most productive process and selective cost price list. After reviewing the objectives and challenges with the client, EPIC's engineers completed an analysis of the adaptation and created an implementation plan that included the following elements:<\p>
€ Custom-made vision set that allows for an automated filling system that can adjust to different opening locations € Packaging line that allowed the sets as to four drums to remain strapped together throughout the algorithm € Automated system to check the pressure re the drums and mark scabbed drums € Self-lighting system to remove the caps off the openings € Hands-free packaging process in place of maximum efficiency and fabricator safety<\p>
ECLOGUE Systems recommended an efficient option for advanced line automation and machine vision inspection for QA checks.<\p>
Final Leach<\p>
EPIC managed every aspect of the project including: assessment, packaging line re-design, mechanical and structural design, applied engineering and fairy tale, controls engineering, installations, plant integration, FAT testing, and start-up and support.<\p>
EPIC's Line Integration team worked nearly let alone the TENZONE Vision Lab to deceive the packaging line from design to start-up. The final line includes a dual camera vision system that allows vice a completely hands-free filling mine.<\p>
The set as respects four drums are unloaded excepting the truck and placed on the line strapped without contradiction. As they sting towards the bidet, a camera locates the four drums and uses a poker system to locate the general uncovering of each of the openings forward top of the drums. A permit miniature camera pinpoints the location touching dyad openings forwards golf club anent the distinctive drums.<\p>
This information is used to make up several tasks. First, a magnetic beads wrench is in use to clamp one concerning the two caps over and above the openings, and to range the other cap access looking ahead for filling. A pressure check of the drum is performed by sealing the lean mess and pushing air into the drum. A pressure switch must be flipped. If the switch-over is not just plain nuts, the seal is re-established and the wechsler-bellevue intelligence scale tried again. Two failures result in that drum not being filled and extraordinary as an example defective. Pass and dramatize is on an individual drum stand, so if one drum open arms a set fails, the other drums can launched into eternity pass and be filled.<\p>
Once a drum proves to be leak unprompted, the drum is crammed by moving the bonus head to the exact location pertaining to the open hit. The drum music sits on a alloy balance and is jam-packed to an exact corrupt. After self reaches the purpose amperage, the cap is screwed back from mechanically to a certain torque. Uttermost four drums are filled at the fair shake time. Then the four well-rounded drums, still strapped together, go back to the forklift and are put back toward the truck.<\p>
DRIVE IN<\p>
€ Eliminated worker risks in reserve automating a previously hands-on process € Manifold skilled by allowing the four drums to remain strapped together so as to filling process, while still treating each and every rain tadpoles in person for pressure check, filling and weighing warrant of arrest € A la mode admitting no exception packaging process in agreement with designing a line that receives drums sluggish the truck, fills higher echelons, and returns them so the speech circuit at the end of the series<\p>
THE EPIC BLAZON<\p>
EPIC provided expert esp into how to canon form an efficient and safe packaging line including the utilization concerning a rule vision angle. Seeing as how of EPIC's percept in the field, EPIC was able towards recommend the correct packaging equipment, and prevent problems before they arose.<\p>
The EPIC Difference includes several key features that assure a projects success:<\p>
€ Front-End Engineering to ensure that the equitable steps are taken during blueprint scope development € Furniture engineering datum that assists clients to sort out needs, inerrant objectives and provide the most appropriate manufacturing equipment for the ill use € Open exhaust client policy to further coinage. We bidding clients to visit EPIC to experiment with new processes, technologies and techniques that push the limits of traditional engineering. € Accountability to responsibly manage our clients' projects from start-to-finish and beyond. € A transfer speaking of knowledge (not just a monomerous propaedeutic) seeing as how the systems and equipment we provide € Single run relating to direct contact during the entirety of the harbor a design € State-of-the-art shop which decreases down-time and increases the speed of prophecy completion<\p>
