Crankshaft oil hole checking automation is nothing but the machine used to check the lubrication oil holes on crankshaft. Because of manufacturing inaccuracies or errors there may have chances of blocked or undrilled or semi drill lubrication holes on crankshaft. And due to these inaccuracies or errors no proper lubrication is provided to the complete engine and engine cease may occur. While driving a vehicle this engine cease is occurred then it can causes severe accidents and person may losses his/her life. To avoid this problem this automation is specifically design to check all lubrication hole presence on crankshaft with the help of sensors and actuators and controlled by Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). If all pokayoke sensors are giving desired signal then machine display will show all hole presence with green light and ok job counter, else any of hole is missing or blocked or hole length is improper display will show not ok signal for respective hole and job is not ok with red light indicator and buzzer. This helps to detect the problem at the stage of manufacturing before assembly results in increased productivity and stoppage of severe accidents.
