Inspection of Sealing Rings in Car Air Conditioning Systems via Vision System
In the automotive industry, pipe connections with seals are required for car air conditioning systems. In order to ensure maximum tightness, the sealing rings made of metal and rubber must be checked for roundness and possible defects in the rubberized part. A vision system consisting of a machine vision camera, control unit and infrared backlight is installed on the conveyor line for this purpose. The individual sealing rings are visually inspected via image recording and evaluation. Faulty parts are automatically sorted out. Different ring sizes can be adjusted quickly and easily.

Flat Dome Illumination for Pick And Place Feed Solution with Cameras
When separating objects in pick and place applications, homogeneous illumination of all parts is necessary in order to identify their exact position and alignment. The bulk material is stored in feeders, separated by vibration and removed by robots. In order to illuminate all objects precisely, the flat dome illumination installed as incident light must be twice as large as the inspection surface. The illumination has a recess in the middle for positioning the camera. Thanks to the homogeneity of the light, the dome illumination is suitable for inspecting a variety of materials.

Vision System for Visual Quality Inspection of Car Interior Doors
In the automotive industry, the quality of individual components of passenger car interior doors, such as window controls or armrests, must be visually checked for different types of doors. For this purpose, a vision system consisting of several cameras, lenses, illuminations and a control unit is installed. After the door has been positioned in a negative shape, uniquely identified and the correct test program loaded, the inspection starts. The finest color nuances and smallest components are now recorded precisely. The results are sent to the higher-level system and visualized. Related applications can be found here.

Vision System Visual Quality Control of Oil Canisters
Injection molded parts made of plastic must be visually inspected for defined quality characteristics after production. A Vision system consisting of several cameras, illuminations, lenses, a control unit and the uniVision image processing software checks, for example, the geometry, color, inclusions, overinjection or underinjection or sprue separations on oil canisters. The position and completeness of insert parts can also be determined. Test results can be displayed directly via web-based visualization and faulty parts can be rejected.

Measuring the Diameter of Calottes with Vision System
When punching body parts in the automotive industry, it is very important to measure the diameters of the calottes produced and thus ensure the quality of the punching process. A Vision system consisting of a machine vision camera, telecentric lens, backlight and control unit is used to create a sharp image contour of the hole punch using transmitted light. The diameter is then calculated in the uniVision software using a measuring module. Thanks to the high camera resolution and telecentricity, a high level of precision is achieved.
