Leak testing

Customized solutions according to the part to be conveyed, its size and required orientation.

• Palletized conveyors
• Roller chain conveyors
• Belt conveyors

Solutions adapted to customer's process / lay-out requirements:

• Separated input and output conveyors
• Conveyor loops including curves
• Palletized conveyors with lifts at each end and two height lanes

We have the capacity to integrate standard third-party equipment as well as conveyors of our own design. Our product development includes pneumatically actuated stoppers of proprietary design.

• When talking about automatic loading / unloading of our machines, integration of six axes and cartesian robots becomes a guarantee for high efficiency solutions.
• We have wide experience in integrating robots of various brands, not only for handling purposes but also as a key tool in some of our assembly standarized solutions.
• Design and integration of in-house designed grippers (EOAT), adapted to the needs of each application.
• Simulation services for the entire robot cycle to assure the process in cycle time conditions and to avoid possible collisions or interferences.

• Within the traceability strategy of the parts produced, their marking is a fundamental step. The marked data uniquely identifies each part and allows the association of process data for future use if necessary.
• We design, manufacture and integrate marking units to etch 2DM / Barcode / QR codes, among others.
• There are several marking alternatives using different technologies: laser marking, micro-percussion or impact marking.
• At Gaindu we design laser marking stations in which we prioritize safety by means of enclosures compatible with Class 4 lasers.
• Due to the experience gained over decades, we are able to integrate the main brands of laser manufacturers in the market or other brands required by our customers.

• Within the operations related to traceability, and especially after marking the parts on the machine, it is necessary to check the correct marking or to incorporate the unique part ID to associate the process data to the part.
• Integration of cameras or sensors for 2DM code / QR / Barcode reading.
• Possibility of marking degree evaluation according to the  ISO/IEC TR 29158 (AIM DPM-1-2006) standard, by means of special verification units.

In order to respond to the traceability needs of our customers, at Gaindu we have developed our own software called Gaindu Tracker, with which we provide our installations with the functionality to record process data associated with unique part IDs.

We integrate industrial PCs from leading manufacturers as hardware support for our customized software development.

Complete collecting of data related to the process:

• Leak test values
• Insertion forces and positions
• Torque and anglel values
• Etc.

We study each project in detail in order to adapt to the existing IT systems in our customers' plants, integrating our machines in their information networks.

• The leak testing process is an important part of quality assurance in the manufacture of components.
• Checking that the part does not contain leakage above the admissible level is a process that is carried out at various stages of production: after casting, during machining and at the end of the production line.
• There are several methods of leak testing, with alternatives using fluids, air or gas concentration. At Gaindu we work on every possibility to provide our customers with customized solutions.

• Possibility of complementing the assemblies by in-process measurements, to guarantee variable dimensions depending on the actual part.
• Measuring systems through integration of third-party equipment or in-house systems using market-standard measuring probes
• We use the measurement units to, for example, generate reference pressing dimensions based on the values obtained, in order to guarantee 100% of the parts.
• When integrating a gauging system, we always include the means for system calibration, either by manual procedures or integrated into the automated system.

When the conditions of the production line or the floor space available are restricted, there is the possibility of integrating vision equipment to perform various part testing tasks:

• Real-time checking of boring or machining operations on the workpiece.
• Dimensional control of the machined parts.
• Component identification in terms of diversity and positioning.
• Angular or axial components orientation prior to assembly.
• The vision system is carefully studied in each case, analyzing lighting requirements and ambient conditions to ensure a reliable and repeatable process.
