001 · Overview

Fully automated inspection system for engine cylinders.

Engine cylinders are among the most critical components in internal combustion engines. Precision in surface quality, roundness, bore diameter, and concentricity directly impacts performance, fuel efficiency, and longevity.

Manual inspection using gauges, borescopes, or sampling-based methods is not only slow and labor-intensive, but often fails to detect subtle defects or deviations in mass production. Intelgic solves this challenge with an AI-powered, fully automated cylinder inspection system that ensures 100% quality control — fast, consistent, and reliable.

002 · Inspection Scope

004 · Process

Inspection process flow.

01 STEP

Loading

Cylinder is loaded manually or by robot onto the inspection fixture or rotating stage

02 STEP

Positioning

Imaging devices move into position or rotate the cylinder for 360° coverage

03 STEP

Imaging

High-res cameras + lights capture all critical surfaces (bore, flange, side, threads)

04 STEP

Processing

AI analyzes images in real-time to detect defects or deviations

05 STEP

Reporting

Generates visual reports and optionally DQC for each part

06 STEP

Sorting

Defective parts can be automatically segregated (if integrated with robots)
