Automation Systems Inspection

Learn more about our testing standards for robotic arms, PLC controllers, and industrial sensors.

Overview

Automation systems, including industrial robots, automated production lines, and control systems, are vital components in modern manufacturing and industrial processes. These systems must meet stringent standards of quality, precision, and safety to ensure efficient and reliable operation. At QCC INSPECTION, we offer specialized inspection services tailored for a wide range of automation systems, helping you achieve compliance with international standards while optimizing performance. Our detailed inspection process helps detect potential issues early, minimizing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency.

Inspection Focus Areas

Visual & Build Quality Check

We begin with a comprehensive visual inspection to detect cosmetic defects and verify the overall construction quality of automation components.

  • Appearance Check: Identifies scratches, dents, loose wires, and surface defects on robotic arms, sensors, and control panels.
  • Branding & Label Verification: Confirms logos, regulatory marks (e.g., CE, UL), and labels are accurately placed and legible.
  • Material Quality: Verifies the use of specified materials, such as high-strength alloys, industrial-grade plastics, and corrosion-resistant coatings.

Specification Check

We ensure that the product’s specifications align with client requirements, including dimensions, weight, and material composition.

  • Dimension Measurement: Accurately measures the size and alignment of robotic arms, actuators, and control units.
  • Material Verification: Confirms the use of specified materials, ensuring they meet durability and performance requirements.
  • Feature Validation: Checks essential features like load capacity, precision sensors, and safety interlocks.

Functionality & Performance Testing

We conduct a series of tests to verify the functionality and performance of automation systems.

  • Precision & Calibration Test: Assesses the accuracy and calibration of robotic arms, sensors, and control modules.
  • Load & Stress Test: Tests the system’s ability to handle maximum loads and stress without performance degradation.
  • Speed & Response Time Test: Evaluates the system’s response time and speed during operation, ensuring efficiency.
  • Connectivity & Integration Check: Confirms seamless integration with control software, PLCs, and network systems.
  • Motion Control Test: Verifies the smooth and precise movement of actuators, gears, and robotic components.
  • Signal Interference Test: Assesses the system’s resilience to signal interference in industrial environments.
  • Power Consumption Analysis: Monitors energy usage in both active and standby modes for efficiency.
  • Safety Feature Verification: Tests safety mechanisms such as emergency stop functions, safety guards, and interlock systems.
  • Thermal Performance Check: Evaluates the system’s ability to dissipate heat and maintain stable operation under continuous use.

Safety & Structural Integrity

Ensuring safety and structural integrity is crucial for automation systems, as they operate in dynamic and high-risk industrial environments.

  • Electrical Safety Verification: Includes Hi-pot Test, Leakage Current Test, Ground Resistance Test, Short Circuit Test, and Insulation Resistance Test to ensure compliance with electrical safety standards.
  • Overheating Monitoring: Tracks temperature in motors, control units, and power supplies to detect potential overheating risks.
  • Mechanical Safety Verification: Confirms the safety of moving parts like gears, motors, and belts to prevent mechanical failures.
  • Structural Load Test: Evaluates the durability and stability of mounting structures, supports, and frames under load conditions.
  • Signal Interference Check: Tests for issues related to electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable signal transmission and control.

Packaging & Labeling Review

We inspect packaging to ensure it provides adequate protection during shipping and meets labeling requirements.

  • Packaging Integrity Check: Verifies secure seals, padding, and overall packaging quality, especially for sensitive and heavy equipment.
  • Label Verification: Confirms user manuals, compliance marks, safety instructions, and barcode information are accurate and clearly visible.

Common Issues Detected in Automation Systems

  • Calibration Errors: Inaccurate alignment or calibration of sensors, actuators, and control modules.
  • Signal Interference: Electromagnetic interference affecting signal transmission and system performance.
  • Mechanical Failures: Issues like gear slippage, loose belts, or actuator misalignment.
  • Overheating Problems: Excessive heat buildup in motors, power supplies, or control units.
  • Electrical Safety Failures: Issues such as short circuits, insulation breakdown, or leakage current affecting system safety.

Reporting & Results

We deliver detailed inspection reports within 24 hours, featuring:

  • High-resolution photos of any detected defects
  • Clear descriptions of issues found and their potential impact
  • Actionable recommendations for corrective measures
