Process Overview

This solution automates gear tooth profile inspection and sorting by combining QRS 2D/3D vision inspection with the NACHI MZ07 robot.

It detects the position of randomly stacked gears, performs shape inspection, and classifies parts into OK/NG automatically.

Since the vision system is developed by QRS, it can be tuned and customized to match on-site requirements, enabling accurate inspection across various product shapes.

Workflow

STEP 1.
3D vision detects gear position (3D)
STEP 2.
Robot picks the detected gear
STEP 3.
2D vision performs OK/NG tooth profile inspection (2D)
STEP 4.
Place the part into the designated output position (OK/NG).
