Products Suitable for Optical Inspection Machines

Optical inspection is suitable for virtually any manufactured product requiring checks for appearance, dimensions, completeness, or identification.

1. Precision Electronic Components

• Examples: Printed Circuit Boards, chips, connectors, capacitors, resistors, LEDs.
• Inspects: PCB solder joints, missing/misplaced components, part dimensions, surface defects.

2. Semiconductors & Wafers

• Examples: Silicon wafers, packaged chips.
• Inspects: Wafer contamination, scratches, defect patterns; package appearance, leads, marking.

3. Automotive Components

• Examples: Pistons, gears, bearings, seals, connectors, lights, dashboards.
• Inspects: Dimensional accuracy, surface flaws, assembly completeness, printing.

4. Pharmaceuticals & Medical Devices

• Examples: Tablets, capsules, syringes, vials, surgical tools, packaging.
• Inspects: Missing/damaged pills, print quality, label placement, surface defects.

5. Food & Beverage Packaging

• Examples: Bottle caps, labels, cans, pouches.
• Inspects: Seal integrity, label position/contents, date/batch codes, foreign material, fill level.

6. Plastic & Metal Parts

• Examples: Phone cases, auto interiors, precision gears, stamped parts, screws.
• Inspects: Scratches, sink marks, flash, contamination, color variation, dimensions.

7. Printed Materials & Packaging

• Examples: Cigarette packs, pharmaceutical boxes, cosmetic packaging, labels.
• Inspects: Print quality, die-cut accuracy, barcode/QR code readability.

Summary: Optical inspection is highly suitable when products are: 1) Produced in high volume; 2) Have clear, quantifiable standards; 3) Are too repetitive, fatiguing, or precise for human inspection; 4) Require 100% inspection and full data traceability.
