Automated Visual Inspection: Complete Valve Defect Detection in 7 Seconds
Modern valve manufacturing demands absolute precision, where even minor surface imperfections can compromise engine performance and reliability. This integrated visual inspection system delivers comprehensive quality verification across all critical valve surfaces, achieving complete inspection in just 7.5 seconds while handling valves from 20-70mm head diameter, 5-14mm stem diameter, and 80-250mm length.
Comprehensive Three-Station Detection System
The machine's sophisticated three-station configuration ensures no defect escapes detection. Station One employs advanced vision technology to examine pit marks, alphanumeric codes, outer diameter dimensions, head face markings, and chamfer presence. Station Two focuses on stem integrity, verifying end chamfers and identifying surface imperfections. Station Three specializes in keeper groove analysis, checking quantity accuracy and detecting annular abnormalities. Each station works in perfect synchronization to deliver complete surface quality verification.
Intelligent Sorting and Damage Prevention
The PLC-controlled sorting system represents a breakthrough in automated quality management. Utilizing five distinct channels - one for approved parts and four for specific defect categories - the system ensures precise separation while maintaining part integrity. Advanced anti-impact mechanisms prevent surface damage throughout the handling process, and the integrated full-bin alert system maintains continuous operation without interruption. This intelligent sorting not only separates good from defective parts but also categorizes failure modes for immediate process improvement.
