Automated Inspection & Industrial Machine Vision Applications

 Click the selected links below to view more extensive descriptions of some of the custom Automated Inspection and Industrial Machine Vision applications we’ve developed or contact CTI to find out more.

  • Plate Quality Inspection System - conveyor based system that detects and classifies 4 different type defects on multiple sizes of dinner plates.
     
  • Fiber Optic Component Inspection System - checks small, glass, hollow core cylinders, used in fiber optic assemblies for a variety of defects, including blocked bore, cracks, and chips.
     
  • Mirror Defect Detection System - quantifies defects on high quality mirrors using laser scattering and high resolution imaging.
     
  • Tablet Hole Inspection - Size and location of multiple hole patterns drilled into both sides of medicine tablets are inspected at a high speed on a conveyor belt.
     
  • Tablet Coating Monitoring System - software allows for the tracking of the velocity and exposed area of colored tablets dispersed among white tablets to monitor the mixing process of tablets during manufacturing.
     
  • Chip Inspection System - measures the uniformity, size, and shape, as well as searches for defects in the plating of the connectors of electronic components.  Each Unit Under Test (UUT) is compared to a known good part for that particular model number.
     
  • Thin Film Defect Detection identifies and quantifies defects in thin films.  The system utilizes a high-resolution camera, zoom lens, and XYZ motion control, which allows for imaging over an extended area and for auto-focus control.
