The Guanshentai Automatic Visual Inspection Machine for Pipette Tips is a high-efficiency, specialized system designed for the fully automated inspection of pipette tips, covering cosmetic defects, dimensional accuracy, and filter assembly quality. Integrating an automatic feeding and sorting system, a multi-station parallel inspection platform, multi-angle optical inspection modules, a precision dimensional measurement system, and automatic sorting/rejection and counting/discharge functions, the equipment performs comprehensive in-line inspections. It checks for flaws on inner and outer walls, the integrity of the orifice and tip, concentricity, total length, outer/inner diameters, and the presence/position of filters. With inspection speeds reaching 300–600 units per minute, it effectively replaces manual visual inspection.

Key Advantages:
Comprehensive Optical Inspection: Utilizing a combination of multi-angle LED light sources (backlight, side light, and coaxial light) and high-resolution industrial cameras paired with telecentric lenses, the system achieves 360° imaging of the tip's inner and outer walls, orifice, tip end, and filter area. It accurately identifies various defects such as particles, scratches, or bubbles on the inner wall; sink marks, flow lines, or foreign matter on the outer wall; burrs or damage at the orifice; and defects or bending at the tip end.
High-Precision Dimensional Measurement: An integrated image measurement system (based on fixed-scale and pixel-comparison principles) measures total length, outer diameter, inner diameter, concentricity, taper, filter depth, and filter deviation in-line. With a repeatability of ±0.02mm, it ensures dimensional consistency that meets pipetting accuracy requirements.
Specialized Optical Solutions for Tips: To address the challenge of inspecting deep inner walls, the system employs specialized endoscopic-style illumination and imaging paths combined with high-intensity tip illumination. This ensures clear imaging of minute particles and scratches in dark inner-wall zones, preventing missed detections of tiny foreign objects. A proprietary illumination scheme for the tip end enables shadow-free, all-angle inspection, ensuring no small defects go undetected.
Dedicated Filter Inspection: An integrated filter inspection module uses a combination of transmitted and reflected light imaging to precisely verify the presence, press-in depth, tilt angle, and integrity of the filter, ensuring the functionality of every filtered pipette tip.
High-Speed Parallel Inspection: Utilizes a multi-station parallel inspection platform with synchronous imaging for multiple pipette tips, significantly boosting single-unit inspection speed. It perfectly matches the output pace of high-speed injection molding or assembly machines, enabling 100% in-line inspection and effectively eliminating the risk of missed defects associated with manual sampling.
Automatic Sorting and Statistics: Upon inspection, the system automatically separates acceptable products from defective ones based on preset criteria. Defective items are collected by defect type, while acceptable items are counted and discharged in set quantities. A built-in statistical system records total inspection volume, pass rates, and defect distribution in real-time, supporting data export or upload to MES systems.
Scratch-Free Clean Conveying: Contact surfaces utilize polished non-metallic materials or anti-static coatings to prevent scratches on the inner/outer walls or tips during transport and inspection. The machine is equipped with a dust cover, with an optional laminar flow hood available to meet stricter cleanliness requirements.
Rapid Specification Switching: By swapping feed tracks and inspection fixtures and selecting the corresponding inspection recipe, the system quickly adapts to various tip specifications (e.g., 10μL, 200μL, 1000μL, 5mL), with changeover times kept under 20 minutes.
System Integration and Interlocking: Supports integration with upstream and downstream equipment (injection molding machines, assembly machines, packaging machines), enabling automatic emergency stops/alarms upon detecting anomalies and facilitating production data exchange.
Application Scenarios:Widely applicable to large-scale, standardized in-line visual and dimensional inspection for life science consumables (pipette tips, automation workstation tips, filter tips), in vitro diagnostic consumables (nucleic acid extraction tips, sample processing tips), and biopharmaceutical/laboratory consumables. With its efficient, precise, and non-contact inspection capabilities, the Guanshentai Automatic Pipette Tip Vision Inspection Machine helps manufacturers achieve comprehensive quality control, ensuring that finished products meet strict standards for pipetting accuracy and cleanliness.
