Objective: To develop a quality control system using computer vision to control the parameters of the plates of certain references of bicycle chains.

SRAMPORT is a company of the Chicago-based SRAM group and produces high-quality bicycle chains.
A chain is composed of outer plates, inner plates, rollers and shafts. The plates are produced in presses by a stamping process. There is now a manual control of the physical parameters of the plates produced.

The aim of this work is to develop a system that has the capability of measuring the physical characteristics of several plates dispersed on a base,

after the measurement the system will validate each of the sample plates or reject according to the parameters of the model and its tolerance .

In a second phase the system can undergo an evolution for continuous measurement and integration in the productive process.
