Quality Inspection Station Automation
In steel and heavy manufacturing, quality inspection stations are the final checkpoint before parts move to assembly or shipment. Automated inspection systems that are equipped with vision tools, laser scanners, or non-destructive testing (NDT) probes, must navigate large, complex components with exceptional precision and repeatability.
Inspect Thoroughly. Move Precisely. Ensure Every Part Meets the Mark.
Helix Linear Technologies provides robust linear actuators, lead screws, and motion stages designed to automate the positioning of sensors and inspection heads. Our motion components offer smooth, accurate travel across long spans, making them ideal for scanning weld seams, measuring surface geometry, or deploying ultrasonic or eddy current probes.
Engineered to withstand shop-floor conditions while maintaining micron-level accuracy, Helix systems give OEMs and integrators the flexibility to build smart, scalable inspection platforms for steel and industrial applications.
Key Benefits:
- Precision motion enables complete inspection coverage of large parts
- Supports vision systems, laser metrology, and NDT equipment
- High-load capacity and smooth travel for consistent sensor movement
- Custom configurations available for inline or standalone inspection cells
Helix delivers the motion behind automated quality to ensure every part is measured, validated, and production-ready.
