Production-Line Automated Inspection
Keep zero-defect targets at line speed with automated NDT and vision.
The inspection problem
Sampling can't guarantee zero defects on safety-critical parts. Production-line inspection must be fast, robust and integrated with the process — every decision traceable.
Why it matters
Automated in-line inspection replaces sampling with 100% coverage, reduces manual handling and gives your process a real quality feedback loop.
Which method fits your part?
Every method has a sweet spot and a limitation. Choose based on defect, geometry, throughput and access — not on habit.
Automated eddy-current stations
When it fits: Crack detection, structure and heat-treatment verification.
Limitations: Part-specific setup and reference standards.
Automated MT/PT lines
When it fits: Surface-breaking crack detection on high volumes.
Limitations: Handling and process control critical.
Machine vision / AOI
When it fits: Visual defects, presence/absence, dimensional checks.
Limitations: Lighting, fixturing and cycle time constraints.
