Advanced AI Solutions for Industrial Quality Control

Product Overview

Our automated ball bearing inspection system revolutionizes quality control through seamless integration of robotics and AI technology. The process begins as balls are loaded into a feeding container, where they’re automatically queued and guided along a precision track. A proximity sensor monitors the track, ensuring optimal positioning of the mechanical blade that precisely feeds each ball into the inspection dome. Once inside, a second proximity sensor confirms the ball’s presence, triggering a specially designed claw mechanism that secures it in the perfect inspection position. The dome houses four high-resolution Raspberry Pi cameras and a sophisticated dual lighting system – UV lights for silicon nitride balls and white lights for steel balls. The system captures four detailed images of the upper hemisphere, then employs a precision wheel mechanism to rotate the ball 180 degrees for complete lower hemisphere imaging. These eight comprehensive images are processed either by a local GPU-equipped computer or sent to a cloud server for AI-powered defect analysis, offering flexible deployment options to suit different operational needs. Based on the analysis results, linear actuators guide each ball into separate channels for accepted or rejected components, maintaining a continuous flow of inspection with minimal human intervention and maximum accuracy.
