Abstract
A system and a method of identifying, accepting or rejecting faulty sealant containing twist-on wire connectors wherein an image sensor generates an output image signal of a partly assembled twist-on wire connector or an assembled twist-on wire connector and compares the output image signal to a reference image signal to identify or reject a twist-on wire connector if the output image signal of the twist-on wire connector is outside an acceptable range and accept the twist-on wire connector if the output image signal is within the acceptable range.
