AMFDS — MOLD FILTER DETECTION SYSTEMNever Pour Into a
Never Pour Into a
Wrong or Missing Filter
AMFDS uses machine vision and laser profiling to inspect every ceramic foam filter before it reaches the pour station — detecting missing filters and PPI grade mismatches in under 40ms, with zero false negatives.

Inspection Pipeline
01
Mold Entry
Mold enters conveyor. Barcode / RFID tag registers part number and target filter spec.
02
Transport
Servo-controlled belt moves mold to inspection station at calibrated speed.
03
Laser Scan
Dual-axis laser measures cavity depth profile to within 0.1mm resolution.
04
Vision Analysis
High-res camera captures filter top surface. CNN classifies PPI grade in 38ms.
05
Pass / Halt Decision
AMFDS cross-checks measured PPI vs. job order. Mismatch or missing filter → HALT.
06
Downstream Release
Only verified molds proceed to pouring station. Halted molds divert to re-work lane.
Business Outcomes
✅
Zero Wrong-PPI Pours
Every mold is verified against job-order spec before reaching the pour station. PPI mismatches caught at source.
🚫
No Filter = No Pour
Missing filter triggers an immediate halt. The mold cannot advance until corrected or overridden by a supervisor.
📋
Full Audit Trail
Every inspection result, image capture, and operator override stored with timestamp and part ID.
🔄
Auto Bypass Recovery
After a configurable hold time, AMFDS can auto-bypass to re-work lane without operator intervention.
Key Capabilities
🔍
Multi-PPI Recognition
Trained on 10, 15, 20, and 30 PPI filter grades. Add new grades via additional training samples.
💡
Adaptive Illumination
LED ring lighting adjusts intensity per mold material to prevent glare and maintain consistent image quality.
🛑
Hard Halt + Alarm
Conveyor stops immediately on fail. Visual + audio alarm. Supervisor PIN required to release.
📊
Shift Reports
Automated shift-end PDF: total scanned, pass rate, halt events, re-work count, images attached.
🔗
MES Integration
REST/OPC-UA push to MES/SCADA after every scan. No islands of data.
⚙️
Tool-Free Changeover
Recipe selection via touchscreen. Camera and laser positions auto-adjust per mold recipe.
