Radix Inc. releases vision application for machined part quality

Radix Inc. is pleased to announce that they have released a vision application designed specifically to detect small metal fragments remaining inside the complex surface channels on machined parts. They have also been granted a patent on this innovative application from the US Patent & Trademark Office.

This infrared vision application detects metal chips as small as 2.5 mm inside the surface channels of complex machined parts, like a valve body. With real-time feedback to the operator, this stand-alone application ensures quality machined parts are leaving the factory floor free of metal fragments.

“Radix is well known for our commitment to the innovative application of technology to intelligent manufacturing,“ says Ross Rawlings, President. “This is one more example of this commitment to innovation.”
