Machine Vision and Testing

ACA integrates advanced machine vision systems and automated testing tools to help manufacturers achieve the accuracy, traceability, and repeatability their processes demand. With decades of experience and partnerships with trusted vision technology providers, our team delivers reliable inspection and guidance solutions tailored to your production environment. 

Common Applications:

  • Defect Detection – Identify flaws early to reduce scrap and improve consistency. 
  • Precision Measurements – High-accuracy dimensional checks for tight-tolerance parts. 
  • Vision Guidance – Improve positioning and orientation for automated handling. 
  • Bin Picking – 2D/3D vision for complex or mixed-part environments. 
  • Scanning – High-speed barcode, text, and surface scanning for tracking and validation. 
  • Quality Inspection – Verify assemblies, finishes, and components inline. 
  • Placement Guidance – Assist automated assembly with accurate location feedback. 
  • High-Resolution Imaging – Capture detailed visual data for critical inspection tasks.

Pharmaceutical Vision Verification

Challenge: A pharmaceutical customer was misidentifying completed batches of filled medicine ampoules leading to potential errors in deliveries to customers.

Solution: ACA built a manual system to visually inspect ampoules. A spring loaded/ toggle clamp holds the ampoules in place by the bottom tab in a vertical orientation. A rotary actuator with servo drive will rotate the part to present both sides of the vial to the camera for two separate inspections.

This system improved the quality and consistency of filled medicine ampoules.
