Dimac MCV6 Sorting Machine: The New Era of Defect Detection

The Dimac MCV6 is a cutting-edge automatic sorting machine designed for high productivity and maximum flexibility in handling flat metal parts. 

The MCV6 usually operates on a 900mm glass table with continuous motion, allowing for efficient sorting of flat metal components. Equipped with optical and NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) stations, the MCV6 can identify an array of defects including dimensional defects, cracks, inner thread issues, and surface imperfections. With the innovative multi-camera station and top camera AI tools, the MCV6 stands out in the field of quality control and inspection.

Multi-Camera Station for 360° Inspection of Lateral Surfaces in Flat Parts

The multi-camera station was designed to respond to a request that the market has been asking for a long time: a fast 360° control. Despite an image capture technology that is not particularly complex, the multi-camera station has never found large areas of application, and the reason is primarily due to the fact that the surface image analysis software did not meet expectations.

The gap between expectations and technical possibilities was fulfilled in 2023 with the introduction of artificial intelligence in the analysis process of surface images, a tool with incomparable power compared to previous solutions. (“La Mille” sorting machine). 

The multi-camera station enhances the machine’s ability to detect previously undetectable flaws. This state-of-the-art feature enables comprehensive 360° inspection of lateral surfaces. The control station comprises four cameras positioned at 90° angles around the part, capturing images from multiple perspectives. This setup ensures thorough visualization of the piece’s side surfaces.

Innovative AI Tools

At the heart of the MCV6 inspection capabilities is the Dimac AI tool software. This sophisticated software utilizes advanced algorithms to analyze images captured by the multi-camera control station. It also can work with the Top camera control station, to detect defects on the top surface of the parts.

Unlike traditional vision systems that depend on predefined rules, the AI tool learns through a neural network that assesses image similarity. It classifies defects such as cracks, scratches, lack of material, and molding defects with unmatched precision and speed.

The training of the AI tool is managed by Dimac experts who provide tailored services, refining and validating the neural network before it is installed on the sorting machine. This ensures that the system is finely tuned to meet specific inspection requirements.

Versatile Applications

The applications of the MCV6 with multi-camera CS and AI tools are diverse and cater to various industries like car parking sensor caps, nickel plates, and pinions, demonstrating its versatility across different manufacturing processes.

Conclusion

The Dimac MCV6 sorting machine, with its innovative multi-camera station and AI tools, represents a significant advancement in the detection of defects in flat metal parts. Its combination of high productivity, flexibility, and cutting-edge technology ensures that manufacturers can maintain high-quality standards while optimizing their sorting processes.
