integration of DLP in automated production line - from scratch

marijn cobbaert

I am new process development engineer responsible for adhesive processing. We produce loudspeakers for the automotive industry.

We are interested to learn about the TI DLP technology. Our Application would firstly be to calculate the volume of a dispensed glue-bead right after application onto a surface. Scanning of the bead (mostly circular glue beads, with a diameter varying between 10 and 200mm) and calculation would need to be done within our line cycle time, at 3 to 3.5 seconds.

Please tell me how your product can be best demonstrated, how implementation would be supported etcetera. Looking forward to hear more!

Hi Marjin,

Thanks for your interest in DLP technology! I'm excited to hear that you and your team are interested to learn more about DLP technology. We have a lot of examples of DLP technology being used for industrial applications (like spectroscopy and measurement). While your end product may require automotive qualifications, does the measurement tool need to be automotive qualified? The reason I ask it that a lot of our chipsets design specifically for measurement and non-display applications are not automotive qualified. Here's a link to get you started exploring some of these chipsets: https://www.ti.com/dlp-chip/advanced-light-control/high-speed-visible/overview.html

Thanks,

Brandon

Hi Brandon,

Thanks for your support. The application of the tool will need to be validated internally, by means of a measurement system analysis and proven overall overall suitability to use for SPC of our processes. But the tool itself doesn't need to be automotive qualified as such.

I was checking through your links and I see there's a lot of possibilities and applications. What would be your recommendation for our specific need and application? How should it be 'connected' into our PLC-environment?

Thanks,

Marijn

Hello Marjin,

Will you be developing these inspection machine in-house or sourcing a complete solution. The TI offers a "advanced Light-control " portfolio of DLP chipsets targeted for Machine vision/industrial automation. You may select an appropriate chipset based on your requirement speed, resolution etc.

https://www.ti.com/dlp-chip/advanced-light-control/high-speed-visible/overview.html

TI markets only DLP chipset which includes DMD, controller and Power Management IC. You need to work with our third-party network for complete solution.

You can also technical resources like application notes, videos and reference designs at following page:

Hi Vivek,

That's a pity to hear. We do quite some engineering in-house. Also before we could check your competitor's products as a demo without a third party in between.

Hello Marijn,

Texas Instruments is semiconductor manufacturing company and you still take advantage of high performance and accuracy of DLP technology by asking suppliers for DLP based solution.
