The Bearing Seal Inspection System (BSIS) automates the inspection process, requiring only one operator to load and collect segregated parts. This system has the capacity to inspect seals at a rate of 180 seals per minute, which is previously done by eight persons.

The operator loads the seals onto the pneumatic feeding system, which then feeds them to the inspection system in a sequential and aligned manner. The parts are transported by a conveyor and deposited onto a rotating disc. From there, the system captures images of the seals from various angles and positions for further analysis.

The collected images are processed using specialized algorithms for image analysis. These algorithms enable the software to distinguish between acceptable (OK) and defective (Not OK) parts. Any rejected parts are directed to a bin using a pneumatic ejector, while the accepted parts are stacked on the Indexing table.

Benefits :

  • Single-Person Operation: The machine is designed to be operated by a single person, enabling automated inspection compared to the manual process that would require eight human resources. 
  • Energy-Efficient Components: The machine incorporates electric and pneumatic components that are designed to consume less power.
  • Multiple Setups for Different Seal Models: The machine supports the configuration of multiple setups, allowing for seamless changeover to different models of seals
  • Multi-Level Access: The machine includes a multi-level login feature that provides authorized personnel with access to machine settings and all inspection batch reports. 
  • Automatic Report Generation and Database Logging: The machine automates the generation of inspection reports and is able to log the reports to the database.

Features :

  • Inspection Speed: The machine is designed to inspect and process 180 to 200 parts per minute, with the actual speed varying based on the size of the seals
  • Easy Accessibility: The machine can be operated without the need for PC access.
  • Low Seal Level Alarm: The machine is equipped with an alarm system that provides indication when the seal level in the input feeders is low. 
  • Automatic Machine Stop: It halts the operation when the input feeders are empty, signaling the need for refilling.
  • Configurable Image Processing Functions & Parameters: Users can customize the inspection parameters to optimize the machine’s image processing capabilities according to their specific requirements.
  • Report Generation: The machine offers report generation capabilities in various formats, including Excel and PDF.
