Medical devices come in many complex shapes, sizes, and materials, from a shiny metal knee replacement to the small webbing of a stent. Because medical devices are used on or implanted inside the human body, quality inspection of the part is critical.
Machine vision and AI-based solutions help identify microscopic surface defects, scratches, dents, or contamination that could be harmful to a patient.
Surgical Equipment Gauging
Gauging, measuring, and ensuring high quality standards is an integral part of the medical device manufacturing processes. In order to comply with rigorous quality standards, Cognex vision systems provide high accuracy and repeatability.
Hip Replacement Defect Detection
AI-powered image analysis software detects defects on metal surfaces of knee or hip replacements as reliably as human inspectors, but with the speed of a computerized system.
Stent Webbing Inspection
Stent quality is notoriously challenging to solve with traditional machine vision because of complex geometries and materials. AI-based technology understands complex shapes and patterns and can correctly identify abnormalities.
Contamination Detection
Contamination can occur at any stage of the manufacturing process and is hard to catch on medical device parts. AI – enabled solutions can detect contaminated surfaces such as dust on a pacemaker.
Face Mask Quality Control Inspection
Cognex AI-powered technology inspects face masks for random defects, such as rips, stains, and stitching errors to rigorous quality standards.
Transdermal Patch Inspection
Transdermal patches are checked for accurate dosages of active medical ingredients using AI-based technology before packaging.
Advanced Image Formation Technology
High Dynamic Range Plus (HDR+) is a patent-pending technology that delivers a high-contrast, uniform image in a single acquisition for multi-point inspections of parts with varying depths of field and lighting conditions.
