Plastic injection handles for medical devices must meet exacting cosmetic and dimensional standards. Flash, sink marks, gate vestiges, and surface defects are common issues that traditional inspection misses at production speeds. Manual 360 degree inspection is slow and inconsistent.
Automated inspection cell
Our turnkey cell combines a UR5e collaborative robot, multiple high-resolution cameras, and Retina AI deep learning to inspect every surface of each plastic handle. The cobot rotates parts automatically while AI analyses images for defects in real time.
Defects detected
- Flash — excess plastic at parting lines
- Sink marks — surface depressions from cooling
- Gate vestiges — residual material from injection gates
- Short shots — incomplete fill areas
- Burn marks and discoloration — thermal damage
- Surface scratches and contamination
Compliance
Our medical device inspection cells are designed for ISO 13485 compliance and integrate with your MES for full traceability. Each inspected part receives a unique quality record linked to its production batch.
