With the rapid development of the automotive industry, there is an increasing demand for higher quality and efficiency in the maintenance and repair of vehicles. This is particularly true for the motor drive systems, which can be considered as the heart of a car, requiring higher quality and performance standards. Shenzhen Microvision Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd. specializes in industrial endoscope inspections, which provide visual inspection methods for quality control in areas that are not directly accessible to human vision, such as the internal surfaces of containers, pipelines, and non-removable equipment in special environments.
The client has previously used a well-known foreign industrial endoscope brand, but frequent use on-site has resulted in damage. Due to high maintenance costs and long turnaround time for repairs from abroad, coupled with the rise of domestic alternatives, the client is seeking a cost-effective domestic alternative for the endoscope. As a result, the client's engineers have compared products from multiple domestic industrial endoscope manufacturers and ultimately wish to gain a deeper understanding and on-site evaluation of the products offered by Microvision Optoelectronic.
On December 31, 2020, at the invitation of Mr. Liu, the production department manager of a leading domestic manufacturer specializing in the development and production of dedicated motor drive systems for new energy vehicles, Shenzhen Microvision Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd., along with their technical personnel and equipment, visited the client's site for testing, communication, and on-site analysis. The client is committed to independent innovation, open innovation, and collaborative innovation, continuously improving their technological innovation system and enhancing their innovation capabilities. They have established a world-leading technology platform and manufacturing base for dedicated motor drive systems for new energy vehicles, with a wide range of products including pure electric vehicles, extended-range electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, and hydrogen engine vehicles, all reaching the world's advanced level.
Mr. Liu, as the main person in charge of the technical and engineering departments, participated in on-site discussions and received a product demonstration of the WS-K series industrial endoscope from Shenzhen Microvision Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd. After listening to our technical personnel's explanation of the product, Mr. Liu conducted hands-on operation and expressed approval of the device's clarity and other features. After detailed communication and understanding, the client's requirements are as follows:
1.Customer Demands:
2.The industrial endoscope must have high clarity, with a minimum requirement of one million pixels, meeting the standards of well-known foreign endoscope brands.
3.Due to a high volume of recordings, the device needs to have a certain amount of internal storage space and provide easy file export for the client.
4.Actual Testing Conditions:
5.Aircraft-grade aluminum material, cast and formed.
6.Observation section length of 2 meters, with two bends in the inspection channel and bright inner walls.
7.The extrusion groove ranges from 7-50mm, mainly inspecting the weld areas of the flow channel. Clear observation of welding defects, such as scars or nodules, on the welding parts, flow channel, and bottom.
1.Testing Challenges:
2.Two bends in the flow channel.
3.Oil contamination present in the flow channel.
4.Bright inner walls of the extrusion groove causing reflection at the welding area.
After further communication, we recommended that the client adopt the WS-K series million-pixel high-definition intelligent product, which features automatic exposure adjustment to solve the problem of reflection on the welding surface and high-intensity brightness. The suggested features of the WS-K series include:
5.1 million high-definition pixels, meeting the requirements for observing the internal flow channel of automotive motor systems, detecting welding defects and internal debris in castings. It perfectly addresses the issue of reflection in the casting flow channel and enables clear judgment of the quality of the observed area. It also provides clear images and videos for archiving through photo and video capture.
6.Built-in 32GB storage to prevent data loss, with USB and VGA video output interfaces for direct connectivity.
The WS-K series million-pixel high-definition intelligent industrial video endoscope from Microvision allows for rapid visual inspection of the internal components of motor systems and meets the client's requirement of maneuvering through two bends inside the casting to reach the bottom of the flow channel. The client expressed great satisfaction with the service provided, and the on-site acceptance was successfully completed. This lays the foundation for a long-term cooperation between both parties. Shenzhen Microvision Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd. is honored to serve such a company, and we have learned a great deal throughout this process!
