Inspection systems
Presence and absence detection
Presence and absence detection answers a simple production question with engineered reliability: is every required feature there, in the right place, before the product moves on?
Application-led engineering
A vision system engineered around your process.
Good performance depends on controlling product position, reflections, background contrast and acceptable variation. We design those conditions into the station.
We start with representative products, known defects, acceptable variation, line speed and the required response. That evidence determines the field of view, resolution, optics, processing and mechanical design.

Production value
Make the inspection part of the process.
Detection is only useful when the result is delivered to the right control, operator or quality record at the right time.
- Catch incomplete products before packing or dispatch
- Reduce dependence on repetitive manual checking
- Link inspection results to reject, stop or alarm logic
- Adapt inspection zones and tolerances by recipe
Capture to action
One coordinated inspection workflow.
Capture
Trigger a stable image using controlled lighting, suitable optics and repeatable product presentation.
Decide
Apply proven rules, measurements or trained models with product-specific acceptance limits.
Act
Reject, divert, stop, alarm, guide automation or pass the result to production data systems.
Where it fits
Applications across UK manufacturing.
Questions, answered
Vision inspection FAQs
Can vision distinguish a missing part from a misplaced part?
Usually, yes. Inspection tools can check both presence and the allowed position, provided the feature is visible and product presentation is controlled.
What happens when a part is missing?
The system can signal a reject device, divert route, machine stop or operator alarm according to the agreed controls philosophy.
Can one camera check several features?
Often it can, but resolution, viewing angle and lighting must support every feature. Where they do not, a second view is more dependable.
