AI Technical Summary
Existing O-ring inspection methods struggle to accurately inspect mirror-like O-rings for shallow defects like scratches and abrasions while maintaining the O-ring's position without deformation, contamination, or increased inspection time, especially in applications requiring high airtightness.
An O-ring inspection apparatus and method using an adhesive body on a rotatable head to securely hold the O-ring in place, ensuring a large exposed area for imaging, while minimizing physical load and maintaining orientation changes.
The solution allows for accurate and efficient inspection of O-rings by preventing deformation and contamination, ensuring a large exposed area for imaging, and improving inspection accuracy and efficiency despite individual differences in O-rings.
