Vision inspection on a production line

CLIENT: Confidential, under NDA

Engineering and algorithm work on an automated inspection machine combining turntable control, multi-station image capture, dimensional checks and visual defect detection.

Confidential, under NDANo screens or photographs are published for this engagement.
// overview

A multi-station inspection cell lives or dies in its software. Turntable sequencing, camera triggering, dimensional measurement and defect detection all have to run as one machine, in step, on every cycle, and the code that holds them together is usually the least visible part of the build.

We took over the embedded codebase of an existing cell: machine control and inspection logic across the turntable and its stations, dimensional checks, and image-processing defect detection, reading the inherited code before writing anything new. The engagement is confidential under NDA, so client details, imagery and figures stay off this page.

Engineering collaboration on an existing inspection cell
Client
Confidential under NDA
Covers
Turntable and station sequencing, multi-station image capture, dimensional checks, defect detection
// what it does
01

Turntable and station sequencing control, so capture and checks run in step with the machine

02

Multi-station image capture coordinated across the cell

03

Dimensional measurement checks against the part specification

04

Image-processing defect detection at the inspection stations

05

Assessment of the inherited embedded codebase, separating what stands from what needs rework

06

A pass or fail decision per part from the combined checks

// how it runs
PART → STATIONS → CHECKS → PASS / FAIL
  1. Part on turntable
  2. Station capture
  3. Dimensional check
  4. Defect detection
  5. Pass / fail
// how we worked
01 / Diagnose

Read the existing embedded codebase before proposing anything, separating what was inherited from what would be new work.

02 / Ship

Machine control and inspection logic around the turntable and its stations, extended from the inherited codebase.

03 / Scale

The same control and inspection pattern applies to any multi-station cell; the specifics of this one stay under NDA.
