This machine tests several key quality parameters for a consumable part for copy machines. This particular part consists of 8 very small diameter wires, only a few thousands of an inch diameter, that are placed on a plastic frame with a Fanuc robot. There are two groups of four wires, like a very tiny guitar. The spacing and tension on the wires are critical and this test machine verifies the key parameters are in tolerance. It also saves production data to an SQL file. Here is a link to the GUI I created and another link to the consumable Part being testing in the machine. The GUI made it easier to troubleshoot the process, since it provided a graphical representation of the frequency response of each wire and a clear pass/fail diagram for the operator.
