In the context of a leak test project for a coolant tank, the Systemex Automation team designed and manufactured a robotic cell dedicated to inserting parts, performing leak tests and inspecting the coolant tank. The leak test Equipment shall be capable of detecting leaks in the range of 5 sccm to 0,01 sccm on various industrial coolant models, it needed to demonstrate validity and reliability of the leak tests. Also, rabbit parts confirmed the functionality of the robotic cell at each (beginning of shift, change of model). The Red Rabbit part is a known "Failed" coolant tank with a voluntary leak. This validation procedure was accomplished automatically based on a defined programmed sequence.
The robot cell was designed to meet or exceed the following requirements:
Systemex Automation also proceeded with the start-up of the unit at the plant located in the Eastern Townships. Thanks to this new robotized cell, the customer was awarded the Supplier of the Year award by General Motors in 2012.
