This high-speed machine vision inspection system is designed explicitly for cylindrical bushing internal coating verification and dimensional analysis. This sophisticated system is engineered to handle an impressive throughput of 300 parts per minute (ppm), streamlining the inspection process like never before.
The core of this system lies in its advanced features, including backlit singulation, comprehensive material handling, and an intuitive rejection tracking and verification mechanism. It's particularly noteworthy for its ability to efficiently manage bulk feeding and orientation for an extensive range of part numbers—up to 50 sizes. This versatility is further complemented by integrating three machine vision sensors, setting a new inspection accuracy and reliability standard.
One of the system's standout attributes is its adaptability to various part specifications. Components can significantly vary in height, diameter, flange size, and even in the type and color of their coating. The system is equipped with automatic adjustments facilitated by linear servos, Variable Frequency Drives (VFD), and adaptable camera inspection programs to accommodate this diversity. This ensures that each part is inspected with the utmost precision regardless of its unique characteristics.
Another key feature of this revolutionary system is its ease of use. An intuitive Human Machine Interface (HMI) allows operators to quickly select from pre-programmed recipes that cater to specific part features or even create new product recipes tailored to unique inspection requirements. This level of customization is essential for manufacturers dealing with a wide range of components and seeking to maintain high-quality standards.
Remarkably, the system boasts a speedy part changeover time—less than 30 seconds. This efficiency is achieved through a sophisticated inspection configuration manager, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity. Additionally, the system includes two inspection bins designed for efficient defect mode separation and sorting. This feature is crucial for quality control, ensuring that only parts meeting the strictest standards proceed further in manufacturing.
A modified virtual motion axis tracking system enhances the system's capabilities. This system streamlines the inspection process and facilitates comprehensive statistical data collection. This wealth of data is invaluable for continuous improvement efforts, allowing manufacturers to refine their processes and consistently enhance product quality.
The introduction of the high-speed bushing inspection system represents a significant leap forward in manufacturing technology. Its speed, precision, and adaptability make it an indispensable tool for manufacturers aiming to stay at the forefront of innovation and quality assurance.
