Integrated quality control for stable processes
In modern production environments, success is determined not only by speed, but above all by the consistent quality of every single sawn section. This is precisely where KASTOsort comes in with its Quality Control Options.
Imagine this: your sawing processes are automated and the material flow is optimised – but small deviations remain undetected. A part that is too short, an incorrect weight or material deviations can quickly lead to scrap, reworking or complaints. These are exactly the risks that cost time, money and trust.
With the KASTOsort - Quality Control Options, you integrate quality inspection directly into your ongoing process – without additional manual steps. While the robot moves the material, key parameters are checked automatically:
- Checking of the section length
- Weight verification
- Removal of sample parts during ongoing operation
The result: integrated quality assurance for stable processes, with less uncertainty, more control and a reliable basis for efficient material handling operations.
The advantages of KASTOsort - Quality Control Options at a glance
- Integrated quality inspection within the material flow
- Reduction of scrap and reworking through automatic verification
- Real-time decisions: good part or scrap defined directly in the process
- Greater process stability and repeatability
- Relief for personnel through automated measuring and inspection processes
- Improved data basis for KPI tracking and optimisation (OEE, quality, throughput)
- Flexible measuring strategies individually adaptable to your requirements
- Seamless integration into existing automation solutions and material flows
For which applications and industries is quality assurance with KASTOsort suitable?
KASTOsort - Quality Control Options are suitable for automated sawing and material handling processes in which quality needs to be checked directly during ongoing operation. The solution is particularly useful wherever large quantities, tight tolerances and reliable good-part/scrap evaluation are required.
Typical areas of application include linked processes in automated sawing systems. Through length measurement, weighing and the removal of sample parts, KASTOsort helps to detect quality deviations at an early stage and keep processes stable.
The solution is used, among other areas, in mechanical and plant engineering, in the steel and metal trade, in metalworking and in other industrial sectors with high requirements for dimensional accuracy, process reliability and reproducible quality. Especially where material has to be moved, checked and further processed efficiently, KASTOsort - Quality Control Options create greater transparency and a reliable basis for stable operations.
Frequently asked questions about KASTOsort - Quality Control Options
Length measurement takes place between removal of the cut piece from the saw and sorting into the container. The sawn sections are transported to measuring sensors, measured and then transported onward according to the result. Depending on the accuracy requirements, contactless or tactile measuring methods are used.
The sections are transported to the measuring station between removal from the saw and depositing in the container. Automatic weight checking is carried out there to verify the section weight.
Yes, individual decision logic can be defined based on the measurement results in order to automatically classify parts as good parts or scrap.
Of course. KASTOsort is designed so that all inspection processes take place without interrupting ongoing operation.
Sample parts can be removed during ongoing operation via an integrated removal drawer in order to check system parameters or carry out quality analyses.
Integration is carried out in consultation with KASTO. Measuring strategies, decision logic and process parameters are individually defined and approved.
