Team Members



 * Nick Rodriguez(EE), Nate Pueschel(ME), Justin Herrick(ME), Greg Atkinson(ME)

Syringes to be inspected


Requirements to be Clean
 * No visible cracks on the glass
 * No particles over 40 microns (Human eye smallest viewing)
 * Certain level of head space between the liquid and the stopper

Current Rough Concept
Main Ideas


 * Two stations so that the machine can be running at all times
 * Fully automated so that there is little human factor involved
 * Use a Micro-controller to be the brains of the operation
 * Camera to take pictures of the syringes
 * Those pictures will run through an analysis program to determine if the syringes are clean
 * LED lights will show if the syringes are clean or not
 * Loading station to unload/load the syringes
