In the USA - top tier automotive supplier explains why they use Checker

MPC (Miniature Precision Components Inc), an automotive supplier in the United States, has been a Ford Q1 preferred supplier since 1989, and has received numerous supplier awards from the likes of GM, Nissan, Harley Davidson and Chrysler.

There is no room for error and this is why they use three Checker vision sensors to error-proof the automated assembly of oil-caps.

So - why did MPC turn to Checker?

Shane Harsha, manufacturing engineer manager at MPC, explained their choice to Cognex:

  • For zero-defect rates - "Checker vision sensors have helped us achieve zero-defect rates in the manufacturing process. They are the perfect solution for many of our inspection and error-proofing applications.”

  • For reliability and cost-efficiency - “Simple to set up and easy to install, Checker offers a very cost-effective solution for inspections where traditional sensors are not reliable and a full-blown vision system is too expensive"

In Europe - so many labels, so little time...just use Checker


Dutch group, OTE, produce and export various fluids for the lens care market. They deliver more than 1000 private labels to customers with their own brands. Delivering the finished products all over the world, they need to be sure that all bottles reach their destinations in perfect condition and in good time.

Facing the strict requirements of the medical and pharmaceutical industry plus the need to improve their quality control which was assured manually, the company decided to use the Checker from Cognex to ensure that the production code is present and also to check if the label is on the bottle.

Using Checker ensures better and faster more reliable production.

Presence/Absence detection - whatever your industry!

Automotive - Brake pad inspection using Checker

 

 

  •  Inspects features that other sensors cannot because Checker understands what your part looks like
  • Inspects unlimited multiple part features simultaneously
  • Detects a part by finding an actual part feature providing the reliable part detection unattainable with photoelectric sensors

Plus - Check out the new Sensor View 350 panel-mount display.

 

  • Overcomes varying part positions
  • Parts on a line typically vary in position, and Checker tracks all parts on a line without requiring precise part handling
