Challenge

Manufacturers of cutting contacts face several quality assurance challenges, including detecting minute deviations in contact geometry, ensuring consistent clearances and gap dimensions, and identifying deformations that could affect performance. Traditional single-direction inspection systems often require multiple passes or repositioning, which increases inspection time and reduces efficiency.

Solution

senswork implemented a VisionUnit-based double-head inspection system mounted on a 3D gantry system. Cleverly deflected beam paths allow inspection from two directions simultaneously, eliminating the need for repositioning. The 3D system precisely positions the VisionUnit over the contact elements, ensuring consistent measurements.
