Get Vision AI into Production Today
Learn how to verify presence and completeness with computer vision before assemblies close.
Add a real-time inspection layer to every O-ring and gasket with vision AI for seal inspection. Built for the operations where flash a fraction of a millimeter tall becomes a leak path under compression, thousands of small black parts cross the sort line every hour, and the missing O-ring announces itself only after the housing is closed, the assembly is filled, and the leak test fails. Whether you're molding and die-cutting seals, sorting them, or installing them in assemblies, Roboflow inspects every seal at line rate, with per-lot records behind every shipment.

Bring intelligence to every seal today. Stop seal defects from becoming leak-test failures, field leaks, or the recall bill divided by the price of a rubber ring.
What is O-ring and gasket inspection with Vision AI?
O-ring and gasket inspection with vision AI uses computer vision models to inspect seals from molding through assembly: flash, short shots, nicks, cuts, and inclusions on molded O-rings, tears and coating defects on die-cut and multi-layer gaskets, and presence, seating, orientation, and pinch verification at assembly before housings close. Models trained on your actual seals inspect every part at line rate, with per-lot records that support IATF 16949, AS9100, and ISO 13485 documentation.
Can Vision AI inspect small black parts at sorting speed?
The O-ring sort line is the small-parts hard case: thousands of black elastomer rings an hour, flash a fraction of a millimeter tall, and a nick that matters hiding on a surface a few millimeters wide, all in a material that gives back almost no contrast. Deep-learning models trained on your actual compounds, sizes, and lighting learn each seal's normal edge, parting line, and surface, flag what breaks them at line rate, hold that judgment across cavities and compounds, and route borderline parts to a reject lane instead of guessing, at speeds manual sorting was never going to hold.
Does this replace leak testing?
No. Leak and pressure-decay testing keep the functional verdict on every sealed assembly. Vision AI adds the layer a leak test can't give you: the missing, pinched, or twisted seal caught before the housing closes, while the fix is free, the flash flagged at demold before it ships to your customer's line, and when a leak test does fail, imagery of the seal as it was installed, so the failure becomes a diagnosis instead of a teardown. Leak results and visual findings land in the same record per assembly.
Can it integrate with our molding presses, sort lines, and MES?
Yes. Roboflow Inference exposes a standard API and supports common industrial protocols, so seal inspection events flow into your existing systems: molding press and assembly station PLCs from Allen-Bradley and Siemens, MES and ERP platforms like SAP and Oracle, and SCADA and HMI platforms like Ignition and AVEVA, through REST, MQTT, OPC UA, and direct database writes. PLC-level integration diverts a flagged seal or holds an assembly the moment a check fails, and every event carries lot, cavity, station, imagery, and disposition, with a full audit trail behind every shipment.
