RTS Cheos – The ultimate partner for flexible quality control applications Even today most quality control tasks in production automation are done by hand. Quality inspection is a monotonous task and the results are largely subjective, resulting in quality variations. Machine vision based quality detection can be utilised in most cases and the short cycle time allows every piece to be inspected. The VIP Quality Control system produced by RTS Cheos is a machine vision system used throughout industry for a wide range of quality control applications. The system can be easily configured, without programming, to detect a variety of assembly errors such as missing or misplaced components, dimension errors, poor component surface quality and label printing errors. The RTS VIP system includes all the required hardware and software modules including:
Application example Assembly verification of steel springs mounted on a plastic part Metal springs are assembled automatically by robot. Beside the assembly cell is the RTS VIP Quality Control system. The system verifies that the location and orientation of the assembled steel springs. The location is measured against reference positions at the corners. The production line is supervised by the host computer, which receives the results. Pieces which are out of tolerance are automatically rejected. Technical details:
