Our customer manufactures piston housings for the automotive industry. One product variant had to be inspected for a total of eight defect classes, including chips, dents or pressure marks, cracks, shrinkage cavities or porosity, missing material or raw spots, scratches, contamination, and draw marks. The quality inspection system needed to achieve at least 97% accuracy while ensuring that no defective parts passed through undetected. In addition, false rejects had to be limited to a maximum of 3%, and the cycle time of 10 seconds per part had to be maintained reliably. A particular challenge was that multiple surfaces of each part had to be evaluated: the outer surface, the inner surface, and the top view. For implementation, Maddox AI was integrated into the existing inspection cells as a retrofit, allowing the customer to continue using the installed camera hardware.
