Manufacturing Technology

A leading Turkish bolt manufacturer has installed a Gi-360T high-speed vision inspection system from General Inspection LLC to upgrade its quality control process and highlight a dedication to precision and reliability in production.

The Gi-360T system boasts advanced technology, including four laser beams and eight detector 360° laser gauging, which ensures comprehensive dimensional analysis and precise measurements from every angle. Operating on a Windows 11 platform, the system provides a seamless and user-friendly interface. An integrated velocity gauge also offers accurate length measurements, while the machine’s rail
mounted set-up enables a versatile two position bowl configuration, providing ultimate operational flexibility.

A standout feature of this system is the dual-purpose vibratory feeder system that efficiently handles parts with and without heads, significantly reducing changeover time and eliminating the need for multiple machines. The dual metering system ensures smooth and consistent feed of parts into the inspection system, maximising efficiency and minimising downtime.

Additional capabilities of the Gi-360T system include an on-track vision station, with a high-resolution camera, and custom LED illumination for detailed visual inspection of the top of heads and recess features, such as broken punch. 

This comprehensive inspection system significantly improves the Turkish bolt manufacturer’s quality control process, customer satisfaction, as well as overall production efficiency, demonstrating its commitment to excellence in manufacturing.
