Critical defects are easily missed when inspecting manually. Tiredness, distractions, and boredom are no match for high-speed production lines. Detailed examination, potentially using templates, images, or measurements, is a time-consuming process, and unsuitable for use in a production line where parts are made at over 12 per minute. AOI machines, or automated optical inspection machines are needed to maintain quality levels.
In this example, battery packs manufactured on an automated line require the correct placement of two rubber stickers. These must be completely undamaged and correctly placed within a predetermined positional tolerance. Also, the surface finish of the stickers is subtly variable. The batteries are placed on a conveyor belt at 12 per minute and need inspection.
The Inspekto S70 autonomous machine vision system is an out-of-the-box automated optical inspection solution, that can be set up in 30 minutes, learns like a human and inspects like a machine. It combines automated machine precision with the adaptability of human sight to the production line. Its cutting-edge AI technology is trained from “good” components, not predefined defects, making it incredibly easy to set up. Flaws are identified, positions checked, and missing components flagged, while automatically ignoring non-critical variations like serial numbers.
The S70 is built for speed and efficiency, it is tolerant of orientation and positioning and can scan components placed in the camera’s field of view, and on a conveyor belt, at rates exceeding 40ppm. These defects are identified in red on the displayed or recorded image to facilitate rework. This powerful blend of speed, accuracy, and autonomy transforms your quality control process, ensuring you catch what others miss.
The S70 can be used on many materials/components, including Electrical Components, Metal, PCBs, plastic, and rubber. This capability makes it an ideal solution for products such as injection moulded components where it can identify sink marks, pores, dents and flashing, electrical connectors-presence/missing/position, soldering on PCB’s, integrity & milling swarf in metal components, position and presence of labels, verification of coatings and O ring placement or missing.
Toolmakers' Measuring Microscope
Unmatched precision for industrial metrology & quality controlThe eviXscan Quadro+ is an industrial structured light 3D Scanner designed for capturing intricate details on components in high resolution. It can be used for precision metrology, quality control, reverse engineering and rapid prototyping application and is unique in having dual scanning ranges.Utilising a blue LED light source and 4 high resolution cameras (two 12 Mpix for the inner range and two 9 Mpix for the outer range) to capture highly accurate 3D data. The inner range, designed for smaller, more intricate objects, offers a point density of 351 pts/mm² and the outer range, for larger objects, provides a point density of 88 pts/mm² allowing high resolution measurementThe eviXscan Quadro+ delivers exceptional measurement accuracy, validated by VDI/VDE 2634 Part 2 standards, with precision down to 0.007 mmDespite its unparalleled precision it can scan an object in as little as 1.2 seconds with an inner range measuring approximately 220 x 160 x 90 mm and large objects with an outer range of roughly 450 x 225 x 180 mm.Designed for the rigours of the production environment and provided with he intuitive eviXscan 3D Suite software, which provides powerful tools for point cloud processing, mesh editing, and data export to common formats like STL, OBJ, and PLY. This software also allows for the seamless combination of scan data from both inner and outer ranges, providing a complete 3D representation of an objectThe eviXscan Quadro plus many uses in many industries including Automotive, Aerospace and Defence, Heavy Industry and Machinery Manufacturing, Electronics & Consumer Goods, Tooling, Molds, and Dies, Research & Development / Academia and medical.
