PIN inspection with EyeVision 3D software is a process used to check the quality and conformity of pins used in mechanical, electrical or other devices. Pins of any shape and size can be measured and checked for their correct position and reeling circle.
During pin inspection, an industrial camera with integrated EyeVision 3D software captures high-resolution images to record various aspects of the pin, such as length, diameter, position and surface. The software identifies specific characteristics of the pin such as curvature, distance to other pins or surface damage. The position of the pin is also measured to determine whether it is correctly positioned.
The main benefit the software offers is the detailed measurement of:
Reeling circle or true point
The EyeVision 3D software can carry out a measurement of the so called true point. These are gauges to measure connector tolerances and staggering of the pins.
The embedment depth
The software also can measure the embedment depth of the pins. Thanks to the 3D inspection it is possible to measure the height of the pin tips. Those are not only measured in theire x- and y-direction but also the z-direction.
Flaws on the connector
Furthermore the system can detect flaws such as e.g. if the connector pins are bent, if the pins are stuck to deeply into the housing or if the pins stick out too far out of the housing.
Areas of application for PIN inspection are:
- Electronics industry: Inspection of connectors and printed circuit boards where pins must be precisely positioned and intact.
- Automotive industry: Inspection of metal pins in mechanical components.
- Medical devices: Ensuring that surgical pins or staples are precisely manufactured.
