Surface Defect Inspection Unit "SSMM-1R"

On October 8, 2021, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. unveiled the production line of its Tochigi plant, which has adopted Nissan's unique car manufacturing concept, "Nissan Intelligent Factory," to support next-generation vehicle production with innovative manufacturing technology and contribute to achieving carbon neutrality. As part of this concept, our inspection unit "SSMM-1R" was selected for automatic inspection of the painted exterior.

"Surf-In" is an all-in-one model of an appearance inspection device that integrates lighting equipment, imaging equipment, conveying mechanisms, and processing devices. A multi-joint robot is positioned appropriately according to the shape of the workpiece being inspected, and our original SSMM method, which is suitable for inspecting products with mirror-like surfaces (such as painted or plated surfaces), ensures that even the smallest defects are not overlooked. ■ Achieves suitable inspections corresponding to the surface condition of the target workpiece ■ Capable of detecting defects without being affected by orange peel on painted surfaces ■ Detected defects: bumps, scratches, peeling, stains, scale, distortion ■ Minimum detectable defect size: 0.3 mm ■ Inspectable size: 300(W) mm × 300(H) mm × 200(D) mm ■ A suitable solution for inspecting a variety of complex shapes.
