GENERAL MANUFACTURING
RIM INSPECTION
RIM SORTING
The vision system determines the product model by gross physical
characteristics of the inspected rim. In this particular inspection, the
key characteristics are the spoke pattern and product diameter. This
type of inspection allows for more automation, which in turn, reduces
added potential product damage by manual handling and increases
the production rates through higher line efficiency.
This vision system verifies the surface quality and inspects critical
dimensions of key features. These inspections reduce any human
subjectivity and collect process information that can be used to
identify problem areas in the manufacturing line. This captured
data is used for further analysis of the process and ultimately
problem resolution, reducing costs related to returned products from
unsatisfied customers.
