Description

Lean automation is the standard practice on projects by Setpoint. When designing machines our engineers take into account that there will be defective parts that need to be rejected prior to the next test, inspection or assembly process. On the Micro-Gas Generator (MGG) machine, before a part is ever introduced into the machine it is checked for the right color, orientation, and size and is not allowed onto the machine if it is not correct. If during the process a part is found to be defective, the WIP (Work in Process) software will track the specific part and ensure the bad part is confined to a non compliant materials box. In the picture shown, a defective part tracked through WIP is deformed so that it can not be accidentally reintroduced into the system. Using the Toyota Production System (TPS) philosophy, Setpoint produces turn-key solutions providing right-sized machines that fit into existing production areas. Quick change Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) tooling is used to ensure each system is able to reach your economic order quantity. Through electrical and mechanical practices, Setpoint mistake proofs (pokayokes) each process to ensure correct tooling is installed the right way so that parts are processed correctly. An essential part of this process rejects bad parts from being passed through to the next assembly.
