Airtightness Test with Laser Marking on Taps

Tap Tightness Control with Air and Laser Marking

The system consists of automation for leak control and communication between chambers of single-lever and two-lever faucets. During verification, the static and dynamic pressures are displayed and their differences are compared. At the end of the test, the part's passability is determined, and in the case of a defective part, the system indicates the area of the part where the leak occurred. The machine can laser mark the logo, approval, and QR code (serial number, manufacturing date, etc.). By marking a QR code, we can associate the test results and upload the data to a server via Wi-Fi or Ethernet to generate a results log. The system consists of a programmable controller, a human/machine interface, a pneumatic circuit, and an electrical circuit. The programmable controller is responsible for monitoring the verification, and the laser marking determines whether the part is passable or not, as well as ordering the movements (fixing, plug) and following the sequence defined by the user via the touch screen. We can create a test program and sequence for each faucet model based on its characteristics and needs.

Touch screen

SMB has designed its own software, emphasizing its effectiveness and simplicity through its use of icon-based programming. Touchscreens are currently a very robust solution for the vast majority of machines. The operating systems for controlling the machine are highly intuitive and quickly assimilated by the operator.
