A demonstration of the QR code on the flange dot peen marking and on-site scanning for Yokogawa

Chongqing Chuanyi Automation Co., Ltd. is a renowned company with its central base in Beibei District, Chongqing, and has been our old friend and partner for decades. The company has a very extensive range of overseas locations and has 80 subsidiaries in 54 countries and regions. Its main business ranges from measurement, industrial control, energy, chemical engineering, aviation to emerging industries such as new energy and nuclear power. We most recently shipped to CYS, a Sino-Japanese joint venture established by Chuanyi, Yokogawa Electric Co., Ltd., and other investors. CYS is renowned as being within the top three of the world’s production bases for EJA intelligent transmitters, which reflects its value as a high-precision industrial instrument.

Personalized Marking Solution for Flange Identification

The client required a consistent method of imprinting QR codes around the circumference of the flange, in such a manner that would integrate into their Manufacturing Execution System (MES) without any hassle. The solution that was used was our flange rotary pneumatic dot peen marking machine. The machine is driven by MES instructions, and it automatically marks and codes serial numbers and QR codes on each flange. Upon tagging, a handheld scanning gun verifies the codes and returns the data to the MES system for quality control and traceability.

For optimal performance, we recommended and implemented a Thorx-7 control system, which offers better-quality automation and precision than the standard Thorx-6 system. The Thorx-7 supports high-definition dot-matrix QR code coding and delivers excellent scannability on curved metal surfaces. As one can hear in the provided video, the system notifies successful data capture through an audible “tick” sound from the scanning gun, providing immediate feedback to operators.

Satisfying Industry Need for Intelligent Manufacturing

With the implementation of MES systems on the increase in various industries, automatic quality control and production are now a requirement. QR and DM codes are now embedded on all metal components for effortless tracking and monitoring of the processes. To meet this demand, we have always enhanced our pneumatic dot peen and laser marking technologies to offer A-grade readable codes on many workpieces ranging from valves and flanges to car and aircraft components.
