Application & Solution

Following the injection molding process, components must be rigorously evaluated for defects such as inclusions, particle contamination, and light inhomogeneities. senswork’s solution integrates transmitted and reflected light inspection in a double nest setup, enabling comprehensive surface and internal inspection of each test part.

Key to this system is senswork’s advanced inspection tool, which fully compensates for nest and part shape variations automatically, ensuring consistent and reliable evaluations. It utilizes both light transmission and surface reflection to detect both deep-seated and surface-level defects. The system operates seamlessly inline, integrated into the production line to provide 100% testing coverage without interrupting throughput. It also performs without physical contact, preserving part integrity and supporting high-speed automation.

The visual analysis and decision logic are executed using VisionCommander®, senswork’s vision control platform. VisionCommander® provides real-time data processing, intelligent defect classification, and flexible integration with manufacturing control systems.

Tasks and Inspection Goals

The inspection system was engineered to perform three critical quality control tasks:

1. Detection of Shape Defects
   Identifying molding anomalies such as warping, edge deformation, and incomplete segment formation.
2. Particle Detection
   Recognizing the presence of foreign particles or inclusions introduced during the molding process.
3. Light Homogeneity Testing
   Ensuring uniform light distribution across all display segments to guarantee optimal visual performance.

Conclusion

This project exhibits senswork’s expertise in combining advanced optical inspection techniques with intelligent automation. By leveraging transmitted and reflected light methods and integrating them into a robust visual inspection platform, senswork ensures exceptional quality assurance for seven-segment displays, which are critical components in countless electronic applications.
