Inspect Metal Components
AI-powered surface defect detection for metal parts. Eliminate visual inspection bottlenecks and catch defects inline.
Free POC on Your Components →The Challenge
Visual inspection of metal parts is unreliable and labour-intensive. Defects like burrs, scratches, and corrosion reach customers, damaging your reputation.
🔍
Visual inspection is unreliable
Operators miss burrs, scratches, corrosion, and deformation — especially on complex geometries.
⏱️
Manual inspection slows production
Hand-sorting metal parts into good/scrap is labour-intensive and unpredictable at scale.
💔
Defects reach customers
Sharp burrs or corrosion cause complaints; poorly finished parts don’t meet spec.
👁️
Operator fatigue & inconsistency
Inspecting shiny metal parts all day causes eye strain and missed defects.
How AI Metal Inspection Works
100% automated surface defect detection
💡
Multi-angle lighting setup — captures metal parts under different lighting to reveal defects
🎯
Detects burrs, scratches, corrosion, deformation — classifies by type and severity
✓
Automatic sorting — good parts continue; defects routed to rework or scrap
⚡
50-200 parts/minute — scaling depends on complexity

Real-World Example
Precision Metal Machining (Italy)
“We produce ~100k fasteners/month. Manual inspection was catching maybe 80% of defects. AI system now runs 100% inspection for the same labour cost. Customer returns dropped 75%.”
Quality Director, 100k+ parts/month

What types of defects can it catch?▼
Burrs, scratches, dents, corrosion, paint runs, surface contamination, and dimensional drift.
Does it work on all metals (steel, aluminum, brass, stainless)?▼
Yes. We train the AI on your specific material and finish. Each metal type has different reflection properties; we optimize lighting for your material.
Can it measure dimensions (go/no-go gauging)?▼
Yes. With calibration, the system can verify dimensional tolerances to ±0.1mm.
Does lighting affect results (shiny vs. matte finishes)?▼
Yes. Different finishes need different lighting setups. We test lighting configurations during your POC to optimize detection.
What’s the cost?▼
Quality Control plan €1,800/mo. Savings typically €6-12k/mo in reduced labour and scrap.
