Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of detection tooling, and in particular to an industrial automation sensor detection tooling. Background Art

[0002] Industrial automation sensors play a vital role in the modern industrial system, especially in application scenarios involving key control components such as solenoid valves. As the core component in the industrial automation system, the stability and reliability of the performance of the solenoid valve directly affect the operating efficiency and product quality of the entire production line. Therefore, testing industrial automation sensors, especially solenoid valve-related sensors, is an important part of ensuring the stable operation of the industrial automation system.

[0003] However, in the application of traditional industrial automation sensor detection tooling, after the detection of each sensor is completed, it is necessary to rely on manual labor to pick up the sensor. This link not only increases the complexity of the operation, but may also lead to human errors. For example, sensor damage caused by improper picking up further affects the sensor quality. At the same time, the detection efficiency is low, which is difficult to meet the needs of modern industrial automation for efficient detection, so it needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the problem of low efficiency of traditional detection tooling that relies on manual handling, the present application provides an industrial automation sensor detection tooling.

[0039] The implementation principle of an industrial automation sensor detection tooling in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when the sensor that has been detected on the detection seat 3 is taken, the sensor on the detection platform 2 is detected. After the detection is completed, the servo motor 41 is started to drive the detection platform 2 to rotate clockwise (or counterclockwise). This rotation process causes the detected sensor to gradually rotate to the bottom of the pneumatic clamp 51, while ensuring that the next sensor to be detected moves to the detection position. The lifting cylinder 52 descends to make the pneumatic clamp 51 descend to an appropriate height. The pneumatic clamp 51 closes.
