Surface inspection for aluminum slugs

The deep drawing process makes high demands on the primary material. Flaw tolerances are extremely low.  

Inspection objects:

 Aluminum slugs

• flat
• saucer-shaped
• polished/unpolished
• blasted

Inspection criteria: 

• Surface defects
• Sorting accuracy
• Foreign particles
• Rim/edge defects
• Thickness variations
• Position center hole

Design:

•  Rugged stand-alone inspection machine
• Feed: Rotation feeder
• Separating, conveying, deflection pulley
• 2 double camera vision stations, matrix, high resolution
• 2 sensors for thickness measurement
• 2 double LED lighting units
• Retardation hopper
• Okay/not okay channels
• Mobile operating unit
• UPS uninterruptible power supply
• Air condition
• Optional: network connection, remote servicing

Properties:

• Stable and even feed by rotation feeder
• Smooth transport
• Stress avoiding handling especially for the good/bad sorting
• Double-sided inspection of slugs
