WE ENGINEER SOLUTIONS:

This is a machine that tests the door locksets commonly used for secure areas. These locksets are coded with a combination of button-pushes using the five buttons on the front of the lockset. The machine enters the combination, opens the lock, changes the combination and repeats this sequence through a series of six tests. These tests are performed on 100% of the locksets produced and are the final tests prior to packaging and shipping.

This is an overall view of the front of the machine. Note that this machine uses an industrial PC to control the machine and log all test data in a database. This data is later analyzed for trends and QC purposes.

This view of the electrical cabinet shows the Input/Output modules that are controlled by the PC. We used "Think and Do" software for the machine control and "PLC Direct" I/O modules. The combination was fantastic!
