Automated Inspection
Automated optical sorting is used in various industries to precisely sort objects based on their physical and visual properties.
This advanced process reduces labour costs, especially on bulk orders, and is fast, highly accurate and non-destructive way to remove any defective items.
Through optical sorting Inlex can process headed bolts, screws and fasteners. Our equipment can check products for cracks, specific defects and thread height: everything except full dimensional inspection.
Optical machine detection capabilities include:
Shank length
Shank diameter
Thread quality
Head diameter
Head height
Recess infill
Presence of cracks / open bursts
How Optical Sorting Technology Works
Our digital optical sorting equipment uses reflected light to analyse items to extremely close tolerances. Defects are detected and isolated with advanced optical filters and low-friction chutes or conveyor belts.
The vision system uses the reflected light to compare the differences between acceptable and rejected products.
Automatic screening equipment can also be used to count parts and remove contaminants from a batch by means of a significant characteristic.
