Process Overview

This solution automates gear tooth profile inspection and sorting by combining QRS 2D/3D vision inspection with the NACHI MZ07 robot.

It detects the position of randomly stacked gears, performs shape inspection, and classifies parts into OK/NG automatically.

Since the vision system is developed by QRS, it can be tuned and customized to match on-site requirements, enabling accurate inspection across various product shapes.

Workflow

STEP 1.3D vision detects gear position (3D)
STEP 2.Robot picks the detected gear
STEP 3.2D vision performs OK/NG tooth profile inspection (2D)
STEP 4.Place the part into the designated output position (OK/NG).

Features

Fast and accurate sorting performance

  • High-speed, high-repeatability industrial robot enables stable and rapid handling operations.

  • Vision-based position detection is performed during robot operation, reducing cycle time.


High-precision 2D/3D vision inspection capability

  • Even complex-shaped parts can be detected quickly with 3D recognition and localization.

  • Micron-level dimensional measurement is supported through 2D inspection for precise quality checks.

Results

Key Benefits
Reduced manpower required for quality inspection and sorting tasks. Lowered defect-related costs and improved customer-perceived product quality.
Client Feedback
Vision inspection automation caused frequent errors depending on product and environmental conditions, and it was very difficult to respond when new products were added. However, with high-precision vision performance, we were able to improve overall quality.
