Enhancing Quality Control with M.A.G.I.C. Vision Inspection Technology
At Morgan Polymer Seals, we are committed to delivering products that meet the highest standards of quality. Our engineering team has developed a cutting-edge solution to achieve this goal: M.A.G.I.C., or Morgan Automated Gasket Inspection Control. This innovative system enables us to inspect parts with unmatched precision and consistency, ensuring that every product leaving our facility meets the expectations of our global customers.
What is M.A.G.I.C.?
M.A.G.I.C. is a proprietary vision inspection technology designed and built by our expert engineers to provide total and repeatable accuracy during the inspection process. Each Vision Inspection system is customized to meet the unique requirements of the specific parts we manufacture, utilizing a combination of high-speed cameras and 3D laser scanners. This technology can fully inspect even the most complex components, detecting defects that would be impossible to identify with manual inspection alone.
Why M.A.G.I.C. Matters
The key to our world-class quality assurance is the application of M.A.G.I.C. technology, which has helped us consistently achieve exceptionally low parts per million (PPM) defect rates. This level of precision has earned us prestigious quality awards from leading global OEMs, such as Ford and GM, for several consecutive years. Our commitment to maintaining these high standards is what sets us apart in the automotive industry.
While manual inspection processes can catch obvious defects, they often miss the subtle, less noticeable issues that can lead to larger problems down the line. This is where M.A.G.I.C. technology excels. By using vision systems that scan parts in great detail, we are able to detect imperfections that might otherwise go undetected.
How Does M.A.G.I.C. Work?
The process begins with the Vision Inspection machine sorting the parts into a single file line. Once in position, high-resolution cameras surrounding the part capture detailed images, which are then compared to a database of defective part images. If the part being inspected matches any of these defective samples, it is automatically sorted out of the line and removed from the batch.
Beyond just identifying molding defects, our M.A.G.I.C. system also performs a series of critical measurements to verify the quality of each gasket. The system checks the inner and outer dimensions (ID/OD) of the part, ensures Ovality (the roundness of the gasket), and confirms Flatness, guaranteeing the part meets all necessary specifications.
Speed and Precision Combined
One of the standout features of our M.A.G.I.C. technology is its speed. The system is capable of inspecting up to six parts per second, providing fast, reliable results without sacrificing quality. This allows us to maintain a high throughput while still ensuring each part is thoroughly examined.
In fact, M.A.G.I.C. technology is applied in-house to inspect millions of parts every year, reinforcing our ability to meet the demands of our global customer base and deliver high-quality products on time.
