Laser Cleaning & Traceability for GDI Pumps

Laser Cleaning & Traceability for GDI Pumps

Our client sought a robust solution to ensure post-welding cleanliness and full traceability for its GDI pumps. The goal was to integrate advanced laser cleaning technology with real-time data connectivity, guaranteeing quality and compliance across production lines.

Scope of the System

Laser Cleaning: Complete 360° cleaning of the outlet fitting surface after welding.
Traceability: QR code-based identification linked directly to the client’s Oracle database (not via OPC).
Flexibility: Supports multiple product types selectable via recipe management.
Compliance with legislation: Designed for an environmentally controlled room, operating reliably 24/5 minimum, with capability for 24/7.

System Architecture

The solution consists of two stations:

Station 1 – Load & Unload

Ensures correct part positioning and presence.
Integrated 2D reader for QR code scanning outside the cleaning chamber.
Mechanical and logical checks for proper seating.

Station 2 – Cleaning Chamber

Laser cleaning with PLC-based control.
Equipped with a vacuum system for dust removal.
Accessible for maintenance and cleanliness activities.

Oracle Integration

Real-Time Communication: Direct connection to the client’s Oracle database for traceability.
Data Exchange:
- First Operation: QR code readiness – product details (QR, operation code, reference number, line number, passes) sent to the server.
- Second Operation: Laser cleaning – records release time, date, operation code, repetitions.
Error Handling: If data fails to sync, the part is replaced, and a warning is displayed.

Key Benefits

Guaranteed Quality: Ensures proper assembly sequence, component presence, orientation, and fit.
High Reliability: Built for safe, trouble-free operation and easy maintenance.
Full Traceability: Real-time data integration for compliance and process control.
