Application Notes
Line Problem Call
A worker has detected a problem that might cause a quality problem down the line. The worker inserts a finger into the saddle of the EZ-LIGHT VTB, which triggers an audible alarm and displays the location on an andon board, so the supervisor can decide whether the problem merits shutting down the line.
Part Pick Verification for a Camera Lens
Each bin has an EZ-LIGHT VTB Verification Touch Button connected to a process controller programmed with each order manifest. The VTB's LED base glows to indicate which lens to select to fulfill an order. After selecting the lens, the worker places a finger in the touch zone of the VTB to verify the pick. The worker does not have to apply any pressure to, reducing the risk of repetitive motion injury.

Part Pick Indication for Small Bins
To reduce the risk of error in an assembly operation, a one-piece EZ-LIGHT PVD pick-to-light sensor with a 400 mm range is interfaced with a process controller programmed with the correct assembly sequence. The controller makes the PVDs light up in the correct order, to show the assembler which part to pick. After the PVD detects that the assembler's hand has entered and left the bin, the controller signals the PVD of the next bin in the pick sequence to light up.
