Abstract

Team 8 was tasked with working collaboratively with Miniature Casting Corporation with the goal of providing assistance to solve a complication within the company’s quality control process. The problem at hand involved solving an issue where manual visual inspection is inefficient for time and costs, by halting not only the quality process, but also the production process. Miniature Casting Corporation currently has a stockpile of parts in their factory that must be inspected. The Rejector Inspector automated visual inspection system will allow them to turn their assets into usable product. The final design consisted of the Keyence Vision Sensor attached to a hand-built structure used for testing various different variables and scenarios to determine the optimal procedure for accurate scanning of zinc cast parts.
