Zero-Defect Production Lines Through Precise, Automated Visual Inspection

Manual visual inspection is slow, inconsistent, and expensive. FERSMEK integrates Cognex and Keyence machine vision systems that inspect every part, at full production speed, with measurable accuracy above 99.8%.

>99.8%
Detection accuracy
Typical defect detection rate at full production throughput
100%
Part inspection
Every part inspected — not statistical sampling
<20ms
Cycle time impact
Typical vision check adds less than 20ms to cycle time

Defect Inspection

Surface defect detection, assembly verification, and cosmetic inspection using area-scan and line-scan cameras at production speed.

Dimensional Measurement

Non-contact 2D and 3D dimensional measurement for tolerance verification — replacing manual gauging with automated, 100% inspection.

Barcode & OCR Reading

1D/2D barcode reading, DataMatrix and QR code verification, OCR character recognition for label and date code verification.

Colour & Presence Verification

Colour classification, component presence/absence detection, and polarity verification for PCB and assembly applications.

AOI Integration

Automated Optical Inspection cell design and integration — from camera and lens selection to lighting, reject handling, and MES feedback.

Robot-Guided Vision

Vision-guided robot picking, placement, and bin-picking using 2D and 3D vision systems for flexible part handling.

Cognex & Keyence Platform Expertise

Cognex In-Sight & VisionPro

Smart cameras (In-Sight) and PC-based vision (VisionPro) for complex inspection tasks. PatMax edge-finding, OCR, and deep learning-based inspection tools.

Keyence CV & XG Series

High-speed vision controllers (XG series) and standalone smart cameras (CV series) for colour, shape, and presence/absence applications.

Keyence LJ & LK Series

Laser profilers and displacement sensors for 3D profile measurement, height inspection, and weld bead geometry verification.

Vision System Integration Process

01
Inspection Specification
Define defect types, acceptance criteria, throughput requirements, and environmental conditions.
02
Feasibility Study
Sample parts tested in our lab with camera/lens/lighting combinations before any commitment to purchase.
03
System Design
Camera, lighting, and mechanical housing design. PLC interface and reject handling logic.
04
Algorithm Development
Vision tool configuration, training data collection, and accuracy validation against sample parts.
05
Integration & Validation
Production-line integration, throughput validation, and MSA (Measurement System Analysis) if required.
