The Challenge of Automotive Lighting Inspection

Headlamps and taillamps are critical for both vehicle safety and aesthetics. Even minor defects can affect light projection, visual appeal, and regulatory compliance.

Traditional Inspection Limitations

  • Manual inspection is inconsistent and subjective
  • Difficulty detecting micro-defects on transparent/reflective surfaces
  • Limited coverage of complex geometries
  • No digital record for traceability

Intelgic's AI Solution

  • Consistent, objective inspection 24/7
  • Detects defects as small as 0.1mm
  • Full coverage of complex lamp geometries
  • Comprehensive digital records and analytics

Common Defects in Automotive Lamps

Our AI-powered vision system detects a wide range of surface and internal defects with precision.

Surface Scratches

Surface Scratches and Scuffs

Imperfections on the lens or housing that affect clarity or appearance.

Internal Contamination

Internal Dust or Contamination

Foreign particles trapped inside the housing during assembly.

Glue Defects

Glue or Weld Line Defects

Uneven joints, gaps, or overflow in sealing areas.

Deformation

Deformation or Warping

Caused by improper cooling or material flow during molding.

Intelgic's Automated Inspection Solution

A turnkey system tailored to the challenges of inspecting transparent, reflective, and multi-layered automotive lighting components.

High-Resolution Cameras

Machine Vision cameras capture high-detail images of the lens surface, internal structures, and assembly points for accurate defect analysis.

Specialized Lighting Systems

Custom-configured lighting modules reduce glare, reveal fine scratches, and highlight internal contamination or deformation.

Robotic Motion System

Robotic arms move cameras and lights dynamically around the headlamp or taillamp, enabling full part coverage.

Multi-View Imaging

Multiple camera stations capture images from top, front, side, and diagonal angles for comprehensive inspection.

Real-Time Processing

AI software detects defects, logs measurements, and classifies parts in real time with minimal latency.

Flexible Integration

Operates seamlessly in both inline production environments and offline quality control cells.

Live Vision – Specialized AI Software

Our advanced system intelligently manages multi-material imaging, reflection control, and image stitching to ensure complete surface analysis of even the most complex automotive lighting components.

Material-Aware Imaging

Automatically detects and adapts to different materials—clear plastic, black reflective elements, coated surfaces—within the same part.

Multi-Image Coverage

Captures multiple images from different angles with overlap calculation to ensure no area is missed.

High-Precision Detection

Identifies micro-defects such as scratches, sink marks, air bubbles, and dust particles across all material zones.
