Premium Quality in Connector Production with Automated Inspection Systems from senswork

We guarantee the highest quality in the inspection of connectors and connector assemblies.

Connectors must be manufactured precisely so that pins fit onto the circuit board or mating connector during assembly. We provide complete systems for pin position and tumble circuit inspection, foreign object detection and coding inspection.

Measurement of Platinum Pins & Connectors

The demands in connector manufacturing are high: Connectors must maintain tolerances of 0.1 millimeters and smaller with tight cycle times.

Optical measurement of connectors in production is critical for quality and reliability. It ensures exact inspections of dimensions and tolerances, compliance with industry standards and norms. It also checks quality parameters such as contact spacing and alignment. It further detects even the smallest defects, automates inspection, and ensures traceability through documentation. This practice contributes to overall defect reduction, increased efficiency, and cost savings.

Fast & Reliable Inspection

For manufacturers of electronic assemblies, it is essential that testing can be easily integrated into the production line to ensure efficient production.

The earlier defective pins and connectors are detected in the manufacturing process with appropriate test solutions, the lower the costs.

senswork's measurement and inspection systems not only measure the position and optional height of pins, but also detect missing pins or incorrect connector types. We also offer ready-to-use modules for tumble circuit testing, coding inspection, and our unique virtual connector gauge.

Precise Pin Tip Detection

Machine Vision in connector manufacturing

Recognising connector pin tips can be a challenge with conventional image processing methods. With the object recognition tool of our Neuralyze® Vision AI software, this process is simplified.

Images of connector pins can be added to the smart labelling tool with just a few mouse clicks. Around 100 examples are sufficient to ensure that individual pins are later found in the images with a sufficiently accurate boundary - even with strongly fluctuating contrast, asymmetrical reflection or slightly varying pin sizes.

Inspect PCB Connectors with sensworks Virtual Connector Gauge

The Virtual Connector Gauge is our unique inspection tool for checking the pluggability of PCB connectors - quickly and without contact.

senswork's virtual connector gauge uses high-resolution cameras and a sophisticated software tool to create an accurate image of the board or socket and check it against the detected pin pattern of a connector. This non-contact approach is flexible and can be used for different connector types without wear or damage to the pins. This provides fast and reliable quality control even for a wide variety of connector types without mechanical setup.
