Machine vision has become a critical tool in industrial processes to ensure quality control and efficiency. One particular application of machine vision is the detection of defects in plastic coatings on metal pistons.
The use of machine vision for this type of work allows accurate and reliable detection of defects that would otherwise be difficult to detect with the naked eye. The system can detect multiple types of defects: missing insert, parts inserted upside down, out-of-tolerance insert dimensions, incorrect positioning, cracks, pores, etc.
With machine vision, the inspection process becomes faster and more efficient, reducing the need for manual intervention and avoiding human error. In addition, the system can run continuously, allowing real-time detection and correction of defects as they occur, thus detecting problems that may come from previous processes. In this way, corrective action can be taken much earlier in the production chain, thus saving production costs.
The use of machine vision in this product is a perfect example of how technology can improve the quality and efficiency of industrial processes.
