CAMERA-BASED PART INSPECTION
Optical inspection system for parts.
NIKLAS Vision Check inspects your parts automatically against defined criteria. Your team sets up new parts and recipes in-house; powerful local AI models support image analysis.

MODULAR VISION CHECK SYSTEM
Automated part inspection. standalone or inline.
We adapt the optical inspection cell to your part sizes and material flow. A conveyor turns Vision Check into an inline inspection system; an optional delta picker can sort inspected pass and fail parts. Select the modules in the image.
With a conveyor, parts are inspected directly in the material flow. Belt width and transfers are adapted to your parts.
Add this module to your configurationThe delta picker handles inspected parts and can direct pass and fail parts to separate outputs. It is combined with a conveyor.

Optical part inspection in detail.
Automated visual inspection should reveal deviations before parts move to the next operation. We use your sample parts to establish whether missing components, incorrect position, surface defects or markings can be checked reliably. Cameras, lighting and AI analysis are specified for that task.
01
Missing components
Detect missing components when visibility, contrast and position allow reliable image analysis.
02
Position and orientation
Check whether parts are correctly positioned or assembled. Reference images and defined position criteria support the decision.
03
Surface inspection
Detect scratches, damage and other visible deviations on suitable surfaces. Lighting and defect samples determine the setup.
04
Assembly and completeness
Check assemblies for visible assembly steps and complete fitting before they move to the next operation.
05
Markings and codes
Check and, where required, read printed information, markings or codes. Legibility and method depend on the part and marking.
06
Contour and dimension
Inspect visible contours or dimensions where resolution, perspective and calibration support the required conclusion.
07
Variants and recipes
Your team adds new part variants in-house and stores the inspection features with suitable sample images.
08
Results and records
The system shows the pass/fail decision directly. Image references and agreed inspection data can be documented and passed to the next process.
VISION CHECK AS AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM
Inspect and sort in one system.
With a conveyor and optional delta picker, NIKLAS Vision Check can integrate optical inspection and part sorting into your production line. The inspection cell checks the agreed features; inspected parts are directed to separate outputs according to the pass or fail decision. The setup depends on your parts, defect types and cycle time.
01 · PART FEED
Present parts consistently.
The conveyor feeds parts into the inspection cell. Usable conveyor width, transfers and guides are specified for your part size and material flow.
02 · CAMERA & LIGHT
Make features visible.
Camera, optics and lighting are selected for the features and surfaces to be inspected. This provides repeatable imaging for the agreed inspection task.
03 · RECIPES & AI
Set up new parts in-house.
After initial setup, your team adds new parts and inspection recipes through the operator interface. Suitable sample images support AI-assisted analysis.
04 · DELTA PICKER
Transfer parts automatically.
The delta picker can pick inspected parts and place them at defined outputs. Gripper, reach and cycle time are specified for the part.
05 · SORTING OUTPUTS
Separate pass and fail.
The visualisation shows separate output areas for pass and fail parts. Downstream transfer depends on your process.
06 · CONTROL & DATA
Pass inspection decisions on.
With the agreed interface, your PLC or higher-level system receives the inspection decision and agreed data. The next operation can then respond to pass or fail parts.
NIKLAS VISION CHECK SOFTWARE
Set up new parts with your own team.
With NIKLAS Vision Check software, your team can add new parts and inspection recipes in-house. The clear interface shows the current task and decision directly. Locally operated AI models analyse images against the agreed features.
Illustrative operator interface with demonstration data. Interface and functions depend on the configuration.
EASY TO USE IN DAILY PRODUCTION
Manage inspection recipes in-house.
In daily operation, staff select the appropriate inspection recipe and see the decision straight away. They can set up new parts themselves. During initial specification, we agree the inspection criteria and borderline cases with you.
Your team selects the right inspection recipe at each changeover instead of setting up the task from scratch.
Your team can teach new variants with suitable good and bad samples. During specification, we agree which defect types the analysis should detect.
Inspection decisions and agreed data are documented and can be passed to the next process.
We agree the inspection scope, data and interfaces with you for your process.
