Checking parts by camera as they come off the machine
An example inspection station: a camera, controlled lighting and software that compares each part with a reference and flags deviations.
The scenario
A production workshop checks its parts by eye as they come off the machine. The check depends on the operator, the pace and the lighting, and it leaves no record.
Proposed approach
A fixed station at the machine outlet: a camera, diffuse and constant lighting, a flat support and a local computer. The software compares each part with an approved reference (machine vision) and shows the deviations to the operator. The hardware is off the shelf; the station alerts and logs, without acting on the machine.
What would be verified
A bench trial, with good and bad parts supplied by the workshop, would measure what the camera can tell apart, the false alerts and the missed defects. That result would decide what comes next: a pilot on one machine, or stopping if the check is not reliable enough.
