High-speed visual inspection of complex shapes and tapped holes in aluminum die-cast parts.

Aluminum die-cast parts (casting defects, burrs, dents, scratches), internal tap holes (foreign matter contamination, processing defects), as well as gears, automotive resin parts, and curved surfaces.

The i-WRIST manufactured by NTN Corporation is a module that controls angles with 2 degrees of freedom (bending angle θ, rotation angle φ). It achieves smooth and high-speed movements similar to a human wrist, with a wide hemispherical range of motion, allowing the camera to be directed at any surface of the object for efficient inspection of scratches, dirt, and dents. 【Inspection Examples】 Aluminum die-cast parts, machined parts, automotive parts, resin products, stainless steel parts, castings, metal parts, gears, shafts 【Detectable Defects】 Casting defects, burrs, foreign objects, dents, processing defects, scratches 【Inspection Details】 ■ Inspection of Complex Shapes With a wide range of motion, the camera can be directed to intricate and recessed areas. ■ Inspection of Internal Tap Holes For areas like the inside of tap holes, which are difficult to inspect from one direction, flexible posture changes allow for thorough internal inspection. ■ Inspection of Flat and Curved Surfaces from Multiple Directions Not only flat surfaces but also curved surfaces can be inspected rapidly from multiple directions by changing the posture. ■ Inspection from Multiple Directions While Rotating the Workpiece While rotating the workpiece, it is possible to flexibly switch viewpoints for inspection of workpieces that cannot be inspected with fixed cameras, all within a compact configuration.
