Visual inspection of large automotive parts. 

Visual inspection of large automotive parts. 

Visual inspection using a multi-axis robot arm combined with a lens. 
A single part has multiple inspection points, each of which is uneven and requires focus adjustment in multiple directions.
What is the product that can handle visual inspection that requires focus adjustment?

Case Study Digest

Challenges/Issues VS-FT12HV Evaluation

*It is necessary to inspect multiple areas in one large part.
*For a standard lens, the focus surface of the lens is fixed. Therefore, it is necessary to move the robot arm to the position where the lens is in focus.

・The use of a liquid lens allows the robot to focus at any position, and reduces the number of man-hours by minimizing the need to adjust the robot in the direction of the focus axis.
・Cycle time can be improved by controlling the focus through current control rather than running a robot arm.
