Automated quality control by KUBOUŠEK – integration of measurement directly into the customer’s production process

How We Approach Industrial Automation at KUBOUŠEK

At KUBOUŠEK, we see automation as a comprehensive solution that must fit naturally into the entire production process. Our focus is not simply on supplying a robot or a standalone device, but on a system that improves production efficiency, stability and quality over the long term.

Each of our projects begins with an analysis of the specific operation and the identification of areas where automation will deliver the greatest benefit. Based on this, we design a tailored solution – from handling and assembly to quality control or packaging. We prioritise reliability, safety and ease of operation.

We provide complete implementation, from design through programming to commissioning and subsequent servicing. Our goal is to deliver a functional and economically viable solution that helps customers build modern, competitive production operations.

We have selected the two most interesting upcoming projects for you:

Project No. 1 – Inspection Station Directly Integrated with Production

Our automated inspection station is designed as a direct extension of the production process, rather than a standalone measuring workstation. Its main objective is to ensure stable, repeatable and sustainable long-term quality control without affecting production speed, with cycle times of just a few seconds.

Main Features of the Station:

• Continuous feeding of parts from the rolling machine and their automatic orientation
• Optical inspection of geometry, shape and surface quality
• Working with reference standards and intelligent evaluation of results
• Automatic separation of non-conforming parts
• The control system enables responses to abnormal conditions without operator intervention

Efficiency and Safety:
The station is designed for several hours of unattended operation, with an emphasis on safety, clarity and ease of operation. The mechanical and software design allows for future expansion and modifications as production evolves.

Result:
The inspection station becomes a natural part of both the production process and packaging, ensuring high part quality and effectively supporting production.

Project No. 2 – Universal Automated Measuring Machine for Comprehensive Part Inspection

Our automated measuring machine builds on the philosophy of Project No. 1: automated quality control with an emphasis on precision, gentle handling and future flexibility.

Main Advantages of the Station:

• Automatic part feeding and robotic handling during measurement
• Active rotation of parts, enabling inspection of the entire surface and key dimensions
• Reliable separation of conforming and non-conforming parts without risk of damage
• Modular design, enabling the replacement or expansion of key components without major modifications
• A universal platform suitable for various types of parts and long-term operation

Flexibility and Efficiency:
The station is designed to adapt to changes in production throughout its life cycle, ensuring long-term usability and reducing demands on operators.

Result:
The result is a compact and robust workstation that increases inspection capacity, reduces the workload on operators and supports consistent production quality.
