Rivet Inspection System is a vision-based system to inspection to inspect various defects on Rivets like Notches on Peripheral, Cracks on the surface and other punching defects and also detects the rivet colour and identification symbol. Rivets come from a vibratory bowl in an aligned manner and lands on rotating glass disk. The Rivet Images are captured under top and bottom cameras to inspect defects and identification respectively. The machine is capable of inspecting 3 parts per second and failed rivets are ejected out using pneumatic ejectors. All the total pass-fail counts are monitored in bar chart display and Recorded test data can be retrieved in the graphical user interface with different filtering options and exported into excel format files.
