When manual inspection is no longer enough

It is well known that human inspection is not 100% effective. Fatigue, distractions, and boredom conspire to prevent defects being spotted, particularly if those defects are not obvious. Detailed examination, potentially using templates, images or taking measurements, is a time-consuming process and manual inspection is not suitable for use in a production line with large numbers of components. 

Powerful AI tools provide the solution

For such situations, we recommend a focus on AI. For example, the Inspekto autonomous machine vision system uses a camera and a powerful AI  image processing system to spot defects whilst minimising false positives. The system is trained using good components and can be configured to ignore parts of the product which differ by design (such as serial number labels). It is tolerant of orientation and positioning and is capable of scanning components placed in the camera’s field of view and on a conveyor belt at rates exceeding 40ppm. Where defects are found, these are identified in red on the displayed or recorded image to facilitate rework.

The S70

The S70 can be used on many materials/components including Electrical Components, Metal, PCB’s, plastic, and rubber. It provides an ideal solution for products such as injection moulded components where it can be used to identify sink marks, pores, dents and flashing, electrical connectors-presence/missing/position. Not only this, it can be used for soldering on pcb’s, integrity & milling swarf in metal components, position and presence of labels, verification of coatings and O ring placement or missing. A very comprehensive product.
