In-Process Control
What is in-process control?
It is the machine that controls the decision good or
bad, while in the past processed products
manufactured by machines were inspected and
judged if they were good or bad. As an in-process
controlled machine produces only good products as
a result, the inspection process is unnecessary and
the yield rate becomes 100%.
*When an abnormality can be detected by the AE sensor
Good or bad judgment is performed by installing a highly sensitive AE sensor on the machine and analyzing the data (waveform) acquired by the AE sensor at the time of processing with an edge PC. However, the analysis method is very difficult, and KS-TECH has carried out demonstration experiments many times to acquire a large amount of data and is aiming to commercialize it now.
What is AE?
It stands for Acoustic Emission (Acoustic Emission) When the material is deformed or
destroyed, it is a phenomenon that emits elastic energy that has been internally stored as sound waves
(elastic waves, AE waves).
Consequently, it is possible to discover and predict defects and fractures of materials and structures by
capturing the generation behavior of elastic waves.
