Robotic Inspection Automation Systems

Robotic inspection applications can be used to identify defective parts & measure current or upstream process variations. Inspection can be integrated into robotic systems via contact (ex. Boring gauge), non-contact, machine vision, electrical testing, or manual equipment (ex. inspection slide). Most installed robotic inspection systems are based on a part to tool design & are integrated as part of a larger processing cell. However, freestanding robotic inspection systems do exist. Typical end of arm tooling mechanisms include vacuum cups or pneumatic grippers, and is largely dependent on part size, weight, & surface conditions.
