Understanding Visual Condition Gage: An Overview
VCG system combines different inspection technologies to create a unique solution for machining and assembly operations control. Using this approach, you can detect presence of all special and PTC characteristics as well as their dimensional and other qualitative parameters evaluated in one station.
Detection Capabilities
- GD&T characteristics measurement
- Porosity and other surface defects
- Machined surface completeness and condition
- Drilled holes and threads presence
- Blowholes
- Cross drill bore
- Presence of assembled components
- Casted openings presence
- Cold shuts
- Incomplete ribs
How does it work?
VCG Technology utilizes industrial camera scanning to examine various parts. This process involves using one or more cameras, each outfitted with specialized optics and lighting to suit different applications. Depending on the specific requirements of each project, like the cycle time and the size of the product, these cameras are strategically positioned either on a fixed holder or on one or more robots.
Once the images are captured, they are processed on an industrial-grade computer. This processing is done using our advanced software, which is specifically designed for this purpose and features unique machine vision algorithms. These algorithms allow for accurate and efficient analysis of the scanned images.
