Reason for Design • HPI HD Injector Nozzles • Partial or Missing Spray Holes Purdue School of Engineering and Technology
Main Requirements and Targets • Implement non-contact method of checking nozzles for correct number of thru holes. • Keep up with current production rates (3900 nozzles per day maximum.) • Identify nozzle part number (ID matrix read) • Pass/Reject nozzle before next manufacturing operation. • Keep current manufacturing process cleanliness (4 micron tolerance).

Product Presentation Insert Nozzle Here Matrix Reader Gets Part Number Part Number Sent to AutoID Controller Part is either “OK” or “NG” “NG” Parts are Rejected AutoID Controller Sends Program # to Vision System Purdue School of Engineering and Technology
Product Evaluation(Engineering Targets) • Residue size under 1 µm: None Expected • Footprint under 1 foot2: Within Range • # of Operators Needed 1 or less: 1 • # of Operator Miscues <=1 / 100: None with minimal training. • Less than 2 hours of maintenance per month: Met • Steps required to use <=2: Within Range • Time added to process <=10 sec.: Under Purdue School of Engineering and Technology
Product Evaluation(Engineering Targets) • Minimize cost added: $0.012 per nozzle over the first year. • Number of injuries per year, zero: None expected. • % of nozzles damaged during process, zero: None expected. • % of incorrect identification or pass/fail, zero: None Expected. • % of models capable of being tested, 100: Inconclusive but positive indications.
