Abstract
An inspection system for automotive components includes one or more cameras, a controller, a conveyor structure, and a row of platforms. The cameras are configured to collect images corresponding to a selected automotive component. The controller is communicably coupled to the cameras. The conveyor structure is operable to transport the selected automotive component. The cameras are synchronized and triggered to capture images of the selected automotive component with the controller. The controller is configured to generate a composite image based on the data set and generate, at a production speed, an output indicative of the selected automotive component with or without anomaly.
