Before adopting AI visual inspection: what sets the cost of a small inspection machine, adding AI to an existing machine, preparing molded samples.
See the use cases that match your product, and prepare the information to have ready before you ask us.
The use cases by field show the inspection target, the defects and what to prepare.
Short Shot and Burr Inspection of Injection-Molded Parts: How Should You Prepare Samples?: Prepare good and defective parts together, sort the defects by type, and make sure the samples cover variation across cavities, lots and colors. Do not mark directly on the defects; identify the parts with numbered tags and a list. Sending the part size, the faces to inspect and the production speed along with the samples speeds up the review.
Adding AI to an Existing Inspection Machine: Camera, PLC and Software Integration Points: First list your current machine's camera and lighting, its trigger signal, the PLC or reject device that receives the result, and how much time is available to decide on each part. Whether the existing camera can be reused, and what kind of signal the result has to be returned as, determine the scope of the integration.
The Components That Determine the Cost of a Small AI Visual Inspection Machine: The cost is set by the configuration rather than by a list price for one machine. The main items that change a quote are the number of faces to inspect and the number of cameras, the lighting, how parts are moved, the device that removes defective parts, the scope of the inspection software, and the scope of installation and training. Instead of prices, this guide lists the information a quote needs.
