Medical implants and surgical screws must meet the strictest quality standards in any manufacturing industry. A single threading defect or cosmetic flaw can lead to product recalls costing millions. Manual inspection at 360 degrees under magnification is slow, subjective, and impossible at production scale.
The 3HLE automated solution
We combine robotic handling with Retina AI deep learning vision to inspect each screw from every angle. A collaborative robot rotates each part in front of multiple high-resolution cameras while AI algorithms analyse threading integrity, surface finish, dimensional conformance, and cosmetic imperfections.
What we detect
- Threading defects — missing threads, malformed pitches, burrs
- Surface imperfections — scratches, pitting, tool marks
- Dimensional deviations — length, diameter, head geometry
- Cosmetic flaws — discoloration, contamination, residue
- Identification — verify laser marking and batch codes
Applications
Orthopedic implants (bone screws, plates), dental implants, spinal fixation devices, surgical instruments, and precision medical components. Our systems run under ISO 13485 quality management compliance and integrate with existing MES/ERP traceability systems.
