Machine Vision & Inspection

Inspect every part. Correct the work in real time.

Closed-loop vision that inspects every part, catches defects at the cell, and corrects the work it sees in real time.

01Why now

The work is changing faster than you can staff it.

The dexterous, high-mix, contact-rich jobs are exactly the work classical automation was never built to hold — and the people who used to absorb it are getting harder to find.

Escapes are expensive

A defect that reaches the customer costs orders of magnitude more than one caught at the cell. 100% inspection at the point of work turns escapes from a recall risk into a logged, contained event upstream.

Quality mandates need proof

Aerospace, medical, and automotive customers demand per-part traceability, not sampling statistics. Logged inspection data on every unit gives auditable evidence that each part met spec, tied to the moment it was made.

Inspection labor doesn't scale

Manual visual inspection is slow, inconsistent across operators and shifts, and hard to staff. Learned vision holds one standard at line rate, freeing skilled people for work that actually needs judgment.

02What we automate

What the service covers.

One cell, reconfigured per part — not a new machine for every job on the floor.

A

Presence / absence

Confirm every fastener, clip, gasket, and connector is present before the part advances.

B

Dimensional metrology

Measure critical dimensions and tolerances inline, flagging parts that drift out of spec.

C

Surface defect

Detect scratches, dents, voids, contamination, and finish flaws across part surfaces.

D

Weld & seal inspection

Verify weld bead continuity, seam integrity, and seal coverage on every joint.

E

OCR & barcode

Read and verify lot codes, serials, date marks, and barcodes against expected values.

F

Assembly verification

Confirm correct components, orientation, and seating before the next operation runs.

03See the work

One cell. Assembly, inspection, finishing.

A

On the line

Machine Vision & Inspection work handled at line rate, across the mix.

B

Assembly

Insertions, press-fits, and fastening with force control.

C

Inspection

Closed-loop machine vision. Every part checked, not sampled.

D

Cleaning & finishing

Deburring, spray, and surface work, adapted per part.

04How we work

Qualified off-site. Running in two weeks.

The slow, hard engineering happens on our floor — so the cell arrives tested and dialed in instead of tying up your team for months. A new part is a reconfiguration, not a rebuild.

  1. 01ScopePart, takt, fixturing, and safety boundary fixed upfront.
  2. 02Pre-buildCell built and tuned at Relling HQ, not your line.
  3. 03ConfigureSized and fixtured to your exact part.
  4. 04QualifyProven safe and capable before it ships.
  5. 05PilotFirst production run on your line.
  6. 06ProductionRunning the work, shift after shift.
  7. 07FleetAdd cells as the work pays for them.
05Inside the cell

Everything arrives in one qualified unit.

Arm, sensing, tooling, software, and safety, selected for your part and qualified as a set.

Manipulator & end-effector

Arm and tooling selected for your part, qualified as a set.

2

Closed-loop vision

Finds the part, adjusts in real time, verifies its own work.
