What is an AOI Machine?
Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) is a non-contact visual inspection method that uses industrial cameras, intelligent lighting, and machine vision software to detect defects, dimensional deviations, or surface anomalies on parts or assemblies.
Unlike traditional inspection methods, AOI allows for:
- 100% inline inspection instead of random sampling.
- High-speed processing without interrupting production.
- AI-enabled detection of unexpected or difficult-to-define defects.
Key Features of Openex AOI Systems
Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) is a non-contact visual inspection method that uses industrial cameras, intelligent lighting, and machine vision software to detect defects, dimensional deviations, or surface anomalies on parts or assemblies.
Unlike traditional inspection methods, AOI allows for:
- High-Speed Image Acquisition
Custom lighting and precision optics ensure optimal image clarity, even for reflective or complex surfaces. - Deep Learning AI for Inspection
Our proprietary AI software can detect scratches, cracks, deformations, missing components, stains, misalignments, and more — without writing a single line of code. - Inline & Standalone Configurations
Whether you need an inline station for automated production or a stand-alone inspection cell, our AOI machines are modular and adaptable. - Multi-Angle & 360° Inspection
Rotating part mechanisms or multiple synchronized cameras allow inspection from all sides to ensure no defect goes undetected. - Smart Analytics & Data Logging
Each inspected part is traceable. Real-time dashboards and statistical reports enable better process control and quality trend monitoring.
AOI Machine Applications
Openex AOI systems are tailored for a wide range of products and industries, including:
- Fasteners & Mechanical Parts
Inspection of head diameter, length, thread integrity, and surface defects; Used for bolts, screws, rivets, studs, washers, etc. - Automotive Components
Detect dimensional errors, missing clips, burrs, or surface scratches on connectors, bushings, or plastic fasteners. - Bearings & Rotating Elements
AOI ensures consistent geometry, smoothness, and eliminates risk of surface pitting or cracking. - Powder Metallurgy & Sintered Parts
Identify porosity, cracks, or shape deviation in compacted and sintered metal components. - Lithium Battery Cells & Packs
Inspect weld seams, battery terminals, casing integrity, and alignment before final assembly. - Rubber & Plastic Parts
Detect deformation, color variations, sealing defects, and foreign particles. - Semiconductors & Electronics
AOI for PCB inspection, connector pin alignment, solder joint verification, and OCR/OCV.
