Cinetic DyAG has developed a “Local Positioning System” (LPS) that will aid manufactures with assembly requirements as well as a multitude of other applications.
A common concern when dealing with manual assembly or tests on components is error proofing. Quality expectations within the manufacturing community continue to focus on zero defects per million.
Cinetic DyAG has a new offer, utilizing technology similar to wireless interactive television video games, to help manufactures obtain that goal.
The LPS system known as TruTraxxTM utilizes three different magnetic signals emitted from one small mountable (battery powered) transmitter that are read and triangulated via two or more receivers mounted remotely in the operators work area. Positioning of the receivers is not critical to the accuracy of the locating capability. This three magnetic wave concept provides a six dimensional image in space. The proprietary software displays the position in the X, Y and Z planes while also displaying Yaw, Pitch and Roll, thus aiding and guiding the operator to the correct sequence of work. Electrical interfacing of the TruTraxxTM output and the work tools guarantees the elimination of missed or wrong sequenced builds be produced and passed.
This technology has already been applied to hand held fastening tool applications, wrist mounted pick bin solutions, and traceable paths for leak test applications.
Cinetic DyAG’s first order came through Cinetic Automation for a fastening solution to be used on Rolls Royce’s jet engine and vent box solution for the F-35 Strike fighter that will be provided to the US Marines and the UK’s RAF as their new tactical airborne weapons platform.
