Combination with multi-axis robot

We are currently developing "FlexInspector-ROBO," a device that combines our FIS-100 automatic appearance sensor and NACHI's MZ07 robot.

It is already working there, but looking at it, I think that this is the strongest form of automatic visual inspection equipment.
I have always felt that it is easy to automate visual inspections that do not use "hands" and quite difficult to automate visual inspections that use "hands" to change the direction of the product or tilt it to look at it, but now that it has been combined with a robot, it can do so at will.

Since robots can handle supply and discharge, no special mechanisms are required. This minimizes mechanical design man-hours, and even more so, the man-hours required for discussions. Since assembly man-hours can also be reduced, costs can be kept down and delivery time can be shortened. It is significant that the process from procurement to shipping and acceptance inspection can be accelerated.

If the variety changes, you only have to change the settings (you may need to change the robot hand). Even if the number of imaging directions (even diagonally) increases, it can be handled.

In addition to inspections, "other things" can be incorporated.

Even if the robot is no longer needed as a visual inspection machine, it can be reused. With dedicated handling, this would not be the case.
The speed will inevitably take about 6 seconds per piece, but that is the only drawback. It is only a matter of increasing the number of units.
Could this be a disruptive innovation in automated visual inspection?
