This research outlines an automated quality control framework for aluminum high-pressure die casting components, utilizing a dual-robot vision system and an enhanced deep learning pipeline. The system accurately detects and measures surface and thread defects, achieving a 99.7% mAP30 for surface defects with minimal false positives.

Key insights

  • Combining an adapted SAHI framework, where models are trained exclusively on image slices, with an ensemble learning approach significantly improves surface defect detection accuracy and reduces false positives by leveraging multiple specialized models.
  • Carefully optimized hardware, including specialized lenses and dome/ring lighting, is crucial for consistent high-quality image acquisition on challenging reflective aluminum surfaces and within intricate thread geometries.
  • Implementing a structured workflow that includes multi-view scanning, dedicated defect detection models for surfaces and threads, bounding box merging, and quantitative defect measurement enables a robust and comprehensive automated quality control process.
