Vision Inspection
Camera-based inspection defined around how the part is presented, the feature or defect to check, the decision criteria and the cycle time.
What it does
Verification, inspection, code reading and guidance
Presence & position verification
Part present, oriented, located and assembled the way the drawing says.
Surface & defect inspection
Visible damage, deformation, contamination or inconsistency, against agreed criteria.
Identification & code reading
Barcodes, Data Matrix codes, characters and product markings.
Measurement
Dimensional features evaluated where the presentation, resolution and validation method support the result.
Robot guidance
Position data for picking, handling or placement.
Process control & traceability
Pass and fail results, inspection data or images recorded where the application needs them.
Applications
Where vision inspection is applied
Assembly verification
The right parts, present and oriented, before the assembly moves on.
Identification & traceability
Codes and markings read, then tied to the process or inspection record.
Defect inspection & robot guidance
Defined visible conditions inspected, or parts located for a handling operation.
Deliverables
From inspection definition to operator training
Defined inspection task, interfaces and acceptance criteria
Vision concept and principal-risk review
Integrated camera, lighting, controls and operator interface
Functional testing against agreed samples and criteria
Factory and site acceptance testing, where included
Drawings, software deliverables, manuals, backups and operator training
Next step
Send the part and the inspection criteria.
A process video, part drawing, the feature or defect to check, the decision criteria and the target cycle time are enough for a first engineering view.
