Precision Wheel Inspection.
Zero Defects. Zero Downtime.

Intelgic’s AI-powered wheel inspection system delivers 100% automated defect detection for alloy and steel wheels — detecting cracks, scratches, porosity, coating issues, and dimensional anomalies with micron-level accuracy.

Micron-level defect detection (<50 µm)

360° inspection with multi-camera vision system

Robotic motion and AI-powered analysis

Real-time reporting with Digital Quality Certificates

Seamless integration with your automation line

Fully Automated Wheel Inspection System

Automotive wheels are critical structural components that directly impact vehicle performance, safety, and compliance. Whether they are made from steel, aluminum alloys, or other composite materials, manufacturing wheels demands extreme precision in dimensions, surface finish, and structural integrity.

Traditionally, wheel inspections have relied on manual visual checks or sampling-based quality control. However, manual inspection is time-consuming, inconsistent, and prone to human error—especially when defects are small, repetitive, or occur in hard-to-access areas.

To address these challenges, Intelgic provides a fully automated wheel inspection system powered by high-resolution machine vision cameras, precision lighting, robotic motion systems, and advanced AI software. The system ensures 100% quality control, detects even the tiniest defects, and improves overall production efficiency.
