Electronics board fixtured under a camera with ring lighting

Projects / 03

The fault stays at the station,
not at the customer.

There was a camera. There was no station. Light, trigger, and pass-fail locked on the same bench.

Project

Vision Quality Inspection

A camera had been bought on the Eskişehir assembly line. Thresholds written before lighting was installed drifted every shift; a pin fault showed up at the next gate.

A station is not a lens count. Until lighting, trigger, and the PLC interlock sit on the same bench, the decision arrives late.

Need

A fault missed by eye is at the next gate.

The request arrived as “a better camera.” The real gap was that the station did not measure.

  1. 01

    Threshold depends on the shift

    A tolerance written under poor light was rediscovered every shift.

  2. 02

    Decision on an island

    Vision said yes or no; the press or line interlock did not listen.

  3. 03

    Record is detached

    The code was read; traceability stayed in a separate file.

Application

The station is visible before the camera.

Approach

Light first, then the threshold.

An algorithm will not rescue poor lighting. The bench was built before the camera.

  1. 01

    Light

    Ring lighting was wired to make the defect repeatable, not to inflate it.

  2. 02

    Trigger

    The image locked to line speed. A late frame is not a decision.

  3. 03

    Interlock

    Pass-fail went to the PLC. A fail leaves without blocking the line.

Scope

What locked on this job.

  1. 01

    Station fixture and part seating

  2. 02

    Controlled ring lighting and camera

  3. 03

    Trigger sync at line speed

  4. 04

    Pin, position, and presence thresholds

  5. 05

    PLC pass-fail interlock and traceable record

On site

The fail stays on the bench.

Pin and seating are measured. The decision drops with the record. The next station does not wait for a suspect part.

    A camera is not a quality system. The station is.

    Control software must belong to the night shift as well.

Result

The decision is the station’s output.

We do not claim a percentage of faults reduced. Delivery is a measurement package locked to the line.

  1. Commissioned solution

    Lighting, trigger, and threshold run on the same bench.

  2. Integrated system

    Pass-fail goes to the PLC interlock; the record drops with the code.

  3. Process scope

    Pin, position, and presence are measured at line speed.
