Quality control that checks every metal part against a reference before assembly.
A light-isolated edge station installed on press, cutting, bending, and welding lines compares every part with a learned perfect reference in real time. It catches surface defects, hole and dimensional deviations, bend-angle and form errors, then stops the line or alerts the operator.

Reference · Comparison
The perfect part is taught, and every other part is measured against it.
A reference part meeting your acceptance criteria is introduced to the system first. That reference holds the surface texture, hole pattern, and form profile of the product. Every part on the line is compared against this profile; deviations are marked on an anomaly map and converted into a numeric confidence score. The decision rests on a defined threshold, not on operator judgement.
Anomaly map
DETECTION · HEATMAP
The region deviating from the reference is marked and its score checked against the acceptance threshold.
Core Capabilities
Designed for press, cutting, bending, and welding lines.
Reference-based inspection
A perfect part is learned and every deviation is measured against it.
Enclosed station
Light isolation provides stable, repeatable imaging.
Edge processing
On-device analysis preserves low latency and data privacy.
Dimension and form checks
Hole position, diameter, bend angle, and geometric deviations are inspected together.
Stop & notify
Stops the line or alerts the operator and PLC immediately.
Adjustable threshold
Sensitivity and acceptance limits are configured per part.
Defect classification
Defects are labeled as scratches, cracks, dents, burrs, and rust.
Visual evidence
The source image, heatmap, and confidence score are stored together.
Easy integration
Added to the line as an independent inspection station.
How It Works
From reference to action in four steps.
Teach the reference
The perfect part's surface, hole, and form profile is saved with the product code.
Capture in-line
Every part is imaged under controlled lighting inside the enclosure.
Compare & score
Deviations are mapped and converted into a confidence score.
Threshold & action
When the threshold is exceeded, the system alerts or stops and records the defect.
From the Field · Detections
Detections from the field
The examples below show anomaly heatmaps produced by the system.
ORIGINAL + HEATMAP
Surface crack — loss of continuity along the cut edge.
ORIGINAL + HEATMAP
Hole position deviation — offset against the reference axis.
ORIGINAL + HEATMAP
Surface scratch — local mark on the machined surface.
Detected Anomalies
Three families of deviation on a metal part.
Surface, dimension, and form are all inspected in the same pass, against the same reference.
Surface defects
Scratches, cracks, dents, bulges, rust, and stains; every deviation that breaks surface integrity.
Dimension and hole deviation
Hole presence, position, and diameter plus length, thickness, and out-of-tolerance geometry.
Form / angle deviation
Bend angle, warping, bowing, and geometric distortions that diverge from the reference profile.
Action Outputs
The action you need at the moment of detection.
Alert only, alert plus stop, or full automation—the system is configured for your production scenario.
Line stop
Automatically stops the line through relay / PLC integration.
Audible alert
Immediately warns the operator with a siren or alarm.
Visual alert
Signals with a lamp or tower light.
Operator notification
Shows the alert and defect image on screen.
PLC / automation
Provides outputs compatible with existing automation.
Logging & reports
Time-stamps detections and includes them in periodic reports.
Line Integration
Add it to your metal production line without redesigning production.
Independent station
The enclosure is positioned directly above the conveyor.
Multiple product profiles
Parts are saved by product code and recalled quickly.
Controlled lighting
Stable images are captured independently of ambient light.
Automation-ready
PLC and relay outputs connect to existing infrastructure.
Precision down to 6 µmProcessing edge / on-deviceCloud not requiredInspection 100%, not sampled
Any product that travels along a conveyor or extrusion line, or is checked in a fixed cell, can be inspected. Defects, presence–absence, dimension, angle, shape, fill level, and surface — in short, every deviation beyond the defined standard is detected.
