Many machine vision projects start with one goal: significantly improve upon the accuracy and repeatability of human inspectors. A few years ago, experienced integrator G2 Technologies Inc. helped an aerospace-industry customer meet this goal by creating a system that automatically and reliably inspects connector pins.
The connector features a series of wires from the male and female side that are interwoven to provide multiple contacts. Its connector pins require a high level of inspection because they are designed for multiple insertions in aerospace craft.
