In this paper, a solution for the automatic raw foundry brake disk dimensional characterisation and visual inspection for the automotive industry is presented. Three different computer vision techniques are used: a calibrated 3D structured-light vision technique, for dimensional characterisation and inspection; a 3D uncalibrated structured-light vision technique for local fault detection; and a common 2D-vision technique for a further local fault recognition. A new and fully automated 3D-calibration procedure for piece dimensional characterisation is also described. The whole system is an accurately synchronised blending of mechanics, automation, computer vision and robotics. Results from industrial implementation are presented.
