Product Overview

Our Powder Metallurgy Parts Inspection System is designed for non-contact, inline inspection of sintered and compacted metal parts, including gears, bushings, brackets, filters, and structural components. Using a combination of high-resolution cameras, custom lighting setups, and deep-learning-based defect classification, our system detects visual anomalies with sub-pixel accuracy.
Whether you're inspecting 50 or 5,000 parts per hour, Openex delivers consistent, real-time, reliable inspection.
