Precision Connector Inspection and Pin Inspection with 3D Machine Vision

Precise Connector Inspection with 3D Machine Vision and EVT EyeVision Software

The Importance of Connector Inspection

Connectors are an essential component in electronic and electromechanical systems. Errors such as bent pins, incorrect alignment, or missing pins can lead to malfunctions and quality issues. A precise connector inspection using 3D Machine Vision prevents such defects and ensures reliable connections across various industries, including the electronics and automotive sectors.

3D Machine Vision for Accurate Pin Inspection

Traditional inspection methods are often insufficient for checking complex connectors. 3D Machine Vision enables detailed analysis by precisely measuring the height, position, and alignment of pins. EVT EyeVision 3D software detects even the smallest deviations, resulting in improved quality control and reduced scrap rates in production.
