Bearings
Visual inspection of bearings

Quality control of parts such as bearings is necessary at all stages of product development: both during manufacturing and after assembly, which could damage the component.

Sistemi 2 Visione manufactures artificial vision machines for bearing inspection, characterized by great flexibility: automatic positioners managed directly by the ZeroD software are available to adapt to different diameters and types with minimal setup time. S2V solutions guarantee comprehensive quality testing, thanks to the use of various technologies.

In addition to checking the general conformity of the part, it is possible to identify any deformations or defects, both in the metal areas (such as stains or rust) and on the plastic surface (such as dents or chips).

Thanks to the use of 3D technologies such as profilometers and laser scanners, it is possible to guarantee testing even in the presence of pollutants (such as oil and grease) that could distort the results of traditional 2D technologies.

Using high-resolution color cameras and specialized lights, it is also possible to check any writing, ensuring traceability and the absence of contamination of the batch.

What we check:

  • Conformity and deformation
  • Absence of stains and rust
  • Control of marks and chipping even in the presence of oil
  • Control and masking of holes and writings.

Machined pieces
Visual inspection of machined parts

Quality control of machined parts is essential to ensure product conformity. Sistemi 2 Visione creates artificial vision machines for the inspection of machined parts, ensuring control of shape, the presence of chamfers, the absence of burrs, surface conformity, and dimensional control.

What we check:

  • Shape control
  • Presence of chamfers
  • Absence of burrs
  • Surface conformity
  • Dimensional control

Die-casting
Visual inspection of die-casting products

Quality control on die-cast parts is necessary to ensure product compliance with customer specifications and to ensure product safety. Machining can create surface defects such as cracks, scratches, or dents, leaving unmachined areas (evidence of the rough casting) or revealing porosity or inclusions present in the rough casting.

Sistemi 2 Visione creates artificial vision stations for the inspection of die-cast parts, which can operate in-line or include bays. In the first case, the vision devices are mounted on robots or axes and positioned at various points to perform 360-degree inspection. In the second case, however, the parts are picked up from the line and presented to viewing stations with fixed cameras.

Depending on the geometric characteristics of the part, the vision stations can be composed of various devices, such as high-resolution color cameras, white light or structured light illuminators, laser scanners, or profilometers. If holes and threads are present, special liquid-lens optics can be used to ensure inspection: these lenses have the ability to change focus distance automatically and in a few milliseconds, ensuring short cycle times.

Thanks to the flexibility of ZeroD software, you can easily manage non-conformance criteria and acceptance tolerances, and ensure the traceability of tested parts.

What we check:

  • Porosity control in terms of size, concentration and distance, both on surfaces and in cavities (holes and threads)
  • Absence of rough witnesses
  • Control of lines and stamps
  • Control of machined edges

Plastic components
Visual inspection of plastic components

Quality control of plastic parts in the automotive industry must ensure, in addition to functional checks, also aesthetic checks: the presence of scratches or stains or a color deviation from the standard could compromise the product's appearance.

Sistemi 2 Visione manufactures machines and stations for the geometric and aesthetic inspection of plastic components. To ensure the correct analysis of all surfaces and meet testing requirements, they are equipped with multiple diffused or backlit lighting, depending on the transparency level of the plastics.

What we check:

  • Geometric control: presence and centering of symbols
  • Surface check: absence of scratches and stains
  • Color conformity control
  • Dimensional control
