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.
