Industries · Automotive Tier-1 & Tier-2 components

Auto parts inspection systems for automotive component makers.

Automotive customers audit in defective parts per million, not percent. Visimaster machines give every safety-critical part — bleeder screws, cross-hole components, ball pins — a 100% check with a logged result, so your parts-per-million figure is measured, not estimated. Your customer's visual inspection standard for automotive parts becomes the check list below, proven on your sample parts first.

Defects caught

Cone Surface Damage: marks or damage on the sealing cone
Head damage: chips, deformation or tool marks on the head
Thread crack / Thread dent: a crack across the thread, or a flattened crest
Burr & Sharp edges: raised or sharp material left on an edge
Dirt Marks: dirt, oil or residue on the surface
Shank Damage: marks, flats or dents along the plain shank
Head Cracks: cracks in the head, usually from forming or heat treatment
Surface Dents: pressed-in marks on the outer surface
Bottom Surface Defects: damage on the underside face

Other checks: Cross Hole Presence / Absence, Hole Continuity Test, Hole Concentricity, Operation missing, Presence / absence Verification, Orientation Check

How it works

How automotive component inspection works on a Visimaster line

1
Feed
- Bleeder screws and cross-hole parts feed automatically into the dedicated bleeder screw machine
- Bolts, ball pins and headed fasteners ride the multi-station Metal Disc
- Multi-sided parts too critical to tumble are picked and placed station by station on the Linear Pick & Place
2
Inspect
- Bleeder screws: cross-hole presence, hole continuity, hole and cone concentricity, cone angle, thread and part length
- Surface: cone and head damage, thread crack or dent, burrs and sharp edges, dirt marks, shank damage, bottom-face defects
- Metal Disc: 360° defect inspection, hole continuity and dimensions on headed fasteners
- Linear Pick & Place: 360° visual defects, all outer dimensions, ID and outer thread; air gauge and laser sensor can be integrated
3
Sort and report
- OK–NG auto sorting with intelligent dual ejection on the bleeder screw machine
- Orientation, operation-missing and presence/absence checks logged with every part
- The standard machine has 8 camera stations; a custom build for bleeder screws was the company's first 11-camera inspection system

The machines that do it

Bleeder Screw Inspection

Hole continuity · dual eject

Cross-hole presence, hole continuity and cone concentricity verified on every bleeder screw — 360° outer surface covered.

Cameras: 8

Metal Disc

360° · multi-station

Bolts, screws, ball pins and headed fasteners — dents, cracks, thread damage and 360° surface defects caught at multiple inspection stations.

Cameras: 4
Footprint: 1500 × 1800 × 2110 mm
Weight: 600 kg

Linear Pick & Place

Air gauge + laser

Multi-station inspection of parts critical to handle — 360° visual defects, ID and outer-thread checks, with auto sorting.

Stations: 3
Footprint: 1400 × 1100 × 2200 mm
Weight: 500 kg

Common questions · Automotive components

Which checks does the Bleeder Screw machine do?

The hole and orientation checks first — cross-hole presence, hole continuity, hole concentricity, operation missing and orientation — then the dimensions and surface defects listed above, with OK–NG sorting by dual ejection.

Can parts with several critical faces be inspected without tumbling them?

Yes. The Linear Pick & Place Machine moves each part from station to station, covering 360° visual defects, all outer dimensions, inner diameter and outer thread, and an air gauge and LASER sensor can be integrated for specific requirements.

How do I check if my automotive part can be inspected?

Courier 50–100 sample automotive parts — including a few defective pieces — to our lab in Bhosari, Pune. Our engineers run them on the actual machine platform and you receive a feasibility report, typically within a week. The check is free. Prefer to start online? Upload a drawing or photo of your automotive part on the Ask AI page and get an engineering answer in minutes.
