Error-proofing solutions in manufacturing are critical to produce the best quality products. Poka yoke and andon systems provide immediate indication of quality issues.
High-accuracy lasers and even machine vision solutions are frequently used to automate these applications to prevent quality defects from reaching the customer. But, small changes in distance are difficult to detect and solutions can become expensive quickly.
ifm's OMH laser sensor catches production quality issues before the product is packaged and shipped, reducing the overall cost of errors. The price vs. performance ration makes the OMH laser affordable and reliable to catch errors as early in the process as possible.
