Internal 4-Station Architecture:
1. Part Loading Station
Operator or robot loads the part onto a dedicated fixture.
- • Ensures correct placement and repeatability
- • Optional part-presence sensor detection for auto-start
- • Safety curtain for safety
2. Vision Inspection Station
Multiple cameras capture all faces under controlled lighting.
- • Multi-angle imaging
- • Configurable lighting sequences
- • High-accuracy defect detection
3. Electrical Testing Station
Performs electrical tests as per customer specifications.
- • Continuity, resistance, insulation checks
- • Functional validation
- • Switch/contact force or operation testing
- • Optional IR/height/other sensor-based checks
4. Rejection & Ejection Station
Automated good/NOK segregation with defect-type classification.
- • Separate bins for vision defects, electrical defects, assembly defects, etc.
- • Prevents mixing of NOK parts
- • Ensures 100% failed-part delivery prevention
- • Complete traceability for every rejected part
Key Applications:
Dimensional & Geometric Verification
- • Dimensional measurement
- • Positional accuracy checks
- • Distance and height measurement
- • Feature and geometry verification
Edge, Chamfer & Surface Integrity
- • Chamfer presence verification
- • Burr and sharp-edge detection
- • Surface finish evaluation
- • Surface defects such as dents, scratches, tool marks, and impressions
Color, Appearance & Material Checks
- • Color shade verification
- • Material consistency and appearance validation
Assembly & Identification Verification
- • Presence/absence of components
- • Orientation validation
- • Color-based assembly verification
- • Marking or engraving verification (including optional OCR)
Key Advantages:
- • Integrated vision + electrical testing in a single machine
- • Defect-wise sorting for clean segregation of NOK parts
- • Zero risk of failed part escaping to customer
- • Manpower saving through complete automation of loading, rotation, inspection, and sorting
- • High throughput for continuous production lines
- • Handles complex/multi-geometry components with ease
- • Ready for Industry 4.0: traceability, variant handling, MES connectivity
- • Fully compatible with iScout4.0 Capture Service, Process Control, and Result Determination Modules
