Industrial vision systems for the mechanical and automotive sectors
The Mechanical and Automotive industry requires increasingly higher quality standards, together with efficiency, reliability and production speed.
Automated quality control helps improve the consistency of the final product because it checks 100% of the pieces produced and applies objective and repeatable criteria.
Robot guidance and automatic inspection can be combined, increasing the overall efficiency of the production process.
Specifically for the automotive sector, we develop vision systems for the assembly and inspection of components and semi-finished products, such as the inspection of headlight painting, windshield construction, wheel rim processing, and brake pad assembly and inspection.
We also manufacture automated multifunction benches for collaborative use or in-line integration, an example of which can be seen in the case history of the engraving and surface relief control system.
Defect detection and scrap management
Our systems enable automatic defect detection and effective waste management, thanks to in-line integration, ensuring production continuity and cost reduction.
Our experience in industrial machine vision applied to mechanical components has allowed us to thoroughly analyze how molding, casting, machining, and surface treatment processes introduce variability and the possibility of functional and aesthetic defects.
Optical controls are an ally in the creation of efficient automatic lines with 100% production verification.
Specialvideo is the ideal partner for the possibility of monitoring production with instant, contactless measurements.
These variables can affect flatness, concentricity, coaxiality, shape profiles, edge quality, and functional surface integrity, requiring high-resolution, metrologically stable optical inspection.
Specialvideo's industrial vision systems in the automotive sector
We develop vision systems for the inspection and assembly of components and semi-finished products for the automotive industry.
With over 1,000 vision systems installed worldwide, the complete list of automotive components controlled by Specialvideo vision systems could almost rebuild a vehicle. To name a few:
The high quality standards required by this sector are guaranteed by the robustness of the systems we develop.
Applications of vision systems in the mechanical sector
The automotive industry requires extremely high levels of quality, as well as robustness, repeatability, and process traceability. The machine vision systems developed by Specialvideo support production efficiency and compliance with industry standards.
Specialvideo systems are used for the manipulation and inspection of mechanical components such as gears, brakes, wheels, and small and large semi-finished products, whether raw or with a variety of surface finishes.
Our solutions enable 100% quality control of parts, verifying dimensional conformity, surface integrity, and compliance with customer specifications.
Quality control and non-contact optical measurements
To ensure compliance with dimensional tolerances even at high production speeds, we implement non-contact optical measuring systems. Machine vision technologies enable reliable inspections of raw, polished, or painted surfaces, detecting defects such as cracks, irregular bevels, welding imperfections, or variations due to raw materials.
Robot guidance in the mechanical sector
In the field of robot guidance, Specialvideo actively collaborates with the client’s engineers in a co-design phase aimed at optimizing the production line. We create systems capable of handling parts of different shapes and sizes, even with frequent format changes or non-standard components.
Specialvideo has created:
We are able to seamlessly interface with all brands of robots and/or PLCs with many fieldbuses, maintaining precision, repeatability, and control stability even with very high throughput.
