Custom VIN scribe with touchscreen HMI
Our customer required a bespoke solution for scribing a unique number onto a large vehicle chassis. A solution was designed by integrating standard Pryor marking equipment into a custom fixture and clamping device, suitable for marking two chassis variants. The scribing head of the unit has a mounted camera for mark verification and inspection.
- 100% vision inspection, zero quality escapes
- Low noise in the factory environment
- Eliminates operator error with automatic selection of mark sequence and verification of mark
- Two handed clamping sequence for operator protection
The customised touchscreen interface gives simple, visual instructions to the operator with real-time feedback on sensor status and push-button control
