    The document summarizes a capstone design project to develop a non-contact method for checking diesel engine injector nozzles for the correct number of spray holes. The project team was tasked with designing a system that could keep up with production rates of 3,900 nozzles per day while identifying part numbers and determining if nozzles pass inspection before the next manufacturing step. The proposed solution uses a vision system and auto identification controller to check nozzles and reject any found to be non-compliant in under 10 seconds with minimal operator involvement or risk of damage to the nozzles. Testing showed the design met or exceeded all engineering targets for attributes like residue size, footprint, maintenance needs, and costs. The conclusions recommended automating and

    Reason for Design


    HPI HD Injector Nozzles Partial or Missing Spray Holes

    Purdue School of Engineering and Technology

    Main Requirements and Targets


    Implement non-contact method of checking nozzles for correct number of thru holes. Keep up with current production rates (3900 nozzles per day maximum.) Identify nozzle part number (ID matrix read) Pass/Reject nozzle before next manufacturing operation. Keep current manufacturing process cleanliness (4 micron tolerance).
