Surface Defect Detection for Sheet Metal
Sheet metal inspection is a surface defect detection application that checks stamped and formed sheet metal parts for surface defects and dimensional deviations from a reference profile.
The problem
Stamped and formed sheet metal parts can carry surface defects such as scratches, dents and tearing, along with dimensional deviations introduced during forming. On fast-moving press lines, a manual visual check struggles to keep pace and stay consistent across a full shift.
How it works
TARKO's software analyzes images of the part and checks its surface and profile against a known-good reference part. The detection method itself is proprietary and not published.
The system is built to run inference locally, without depending on a cloud connection.
What This Surface Defect Detection Application Catches
- Surface defects such as scratches, dents and tearing
- Dimensional deviations from a reference profile
- Form defects introduced during stamping or bending
Does this work on high-speed stamping lines?
The system is built to inspect each part as it passes the camera station. Exact throughput requirements are confirmed during a feasibility audit for the specific line.
Which industry is this most relevant to?
Sheet metal components are common in automotive components, which is where this application is most directly relevant today.
