Automated Inspection & Vision Systems
Automated inspection and vision systems are essential in modern factories, ensuring quality control, traceability, and process optimization across every stage of production. These systems depend on stable, accurate motion to position cameras, sensors, or parts for detailed scanning, measurement, and analysis.
Position Precisely. Scan Consistently. Validate Every Detail.
Helix Linear Technologies provides precision lead screws, ball screws, and linear actuators used to control motion in inspection platforms, camera gantries, and rotating stages. Our motion components deliver low-vibration, high-resolution positioning to support consistent image capture, reliable measurements, and rapid inspection cycles.
Whether you're building an inline quality checkpoint or a standalone vision cell, Helix motion solutions help integrators and OEMs create inspection systems that keep production moving and quality uncompromised.
Key Benefits:
- Ultra-smooth motion for stable image capture and sensor accuracy
- High repeatability ensures reliable inspection results at any scale
- Compact actuator designs integrate into gantries, XY stages, or part movers
- Durable components support 24/7 inspection in harsh or clean environments
Helix delivers the motion that ensures every part is in spec so you can trust what your systems see, every time.
