The Parco Clinic Team has worked to re-engineer the O-ring separation unit of Parco’s video inspection machine. The goal has been to optimize the process of guiding O-rings from a part hopper into a single file line, thus improving overall part throughput of the system. After prototyping several design alternatives during the fall semester, the team selected and pursued a final design in the spring and has integrated it into Parco’s video inspection machine.
