In today’s manufacturing facilities, fixed inspection systems are often found on production lines for quality control. But what if you want the ability to inspect a variety of parts, offline, at different locations within a facility? Tasked with such a request, The Proud Company recently delivered a self-contained, portable, all-in-one quality inspection system to a customer in the electronics industry.THE CHALLENGEOur client assembles electronic devices for various industries. Parts are manually assembled, and there are hundreds of different assemblies that have slight differences. The client identified a need to inspect each part to verify that the correct components were installed, wire colors were in the correct terminals, and proper labelling was applied. The system needed to be:
  1. flexible to handle a variety of parts
  2. easily moved from production line to production line
  3. easy for technicians to quickly check parts

THE SOLUTION

The Proud Company designed, built, programmed, and delivered an all-in one inspection station featuring a Cognex InSight high resolution color camera, an enclosure with shielding from ambient lighting, inspection-quality LED lighting, and a graphical buy gabapentin online interface to display images and inspection results, as well as switch between part recipes. The system only requires a standard 110VAC wall plug to operate, but also has I/O and network connections for programming and future expansion. The enclosure has built-in LED lighting and dark walls to shield ambient lighting, since the system will be relocated throughout various areas of the plant. The system can be easily lifted and moved, or placed on a mobile cart.
