Car Mirror Assembly Inspection

Part Description:Metal and plastic assembly.
Industry:Automotive
Inspection Type:Presence/Absence

Summary
The application required inspecting for the presence/absence of screws in an automotive side mirror. Shadows created by the LED array on the allen head screws show up as a dark crater in the center of the screw head. Illumination was critical in this application. The light source had to be in a precise location to avoid shadows from studs etc. A simple FeatureCount SoftSensor was used to determine the presence of screw. The pass or fail criteria depended on the size of a dark feature.
