Asentics PRECISE. The all-in-one solution for the inspection of complex seals.<\/span><\/h4><\/h1><\/div>

The Asentics PRECISE<\/strong> is our newly developed all-in-one system f\u00fcr the 360\u00b0 inspection of complex seals, which can be supplied stand-alone or integrated into existing production lines. But let’s get to know the PRECISE<\/strong> step by step.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why does the Asentics PRECISE exist?<\/h2><\/h1><\/div>

Two words: complex seals. What does that mean? Seals with special cross section geometry and design. Shaft seals are a common example. These are not ‘simple’ O-rings, but a complex product consisting of several materials and components. To ensure that all these components (e.g. sealing lips or spiral springs) can fulfil their purpose, perfect quality is essential. However, optical quality control poses certain challenges as the sealing and functional surfaces are sometimes located in areas that are difficult to access. PRECISE was developed for this specific task. The unique inspection concept enables reliable 100% inspection of shaft seals and other complex seals.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

In conventional inspection machines, test parts are transported over a solid base (e.g. a glass disc). However, such handling does not allow complete inspection due to the complex structure and details that a shaft seal has to offer. In order to fulfil the requirements, a handling concept specially adapted to these conditions is required, which goes hand in hand with high-precision image processing. Asentics has risen to this challenge and developed the centrepiece of the PRECISE<\/strong>: A clocked rotary indexing table with 12 inspection stations, surrounded by up to five high-resolution vision sensors. The test parts are held by specially designed workpiece holders and guarantee that every position of the sealing ring is fully recorded from different angles and even the smallest defects are reliably detected. In addition, a quick changeover enables the inspection of a wide range of products with different diameters and heights.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

From sealing lips, surfaces to springs…the Asentics PRECISE checks ALL components of a shaft seal<\/h2><\/h1><\/div>

Without vision performance, even the best part handling is meaningless. Ultra-high resolution vision sensors from Asentics leave nothing hidden and inspect every component of the shaft seal. This means<\/span><\/p>\n
