How to Install a Vision Inspection Machine | Remote Setup

In short: Overseas installation is handled remotely as standard. The machine ships fully assembled and calibrated. Our engineers guide your team through start-up, recipe setup and operator training over live video, with manuals in English. On-site start-up is available on request for complex lines, and is quoted separately. Every project starts with free sample evaluation in our lab in Dongguan. The machine is set up before it ships.

What Arrives at Your Dock

A vision sorting machine is not a long conveyor line. It does not have to be built up in your plant. Yours is assembled, calibrated and test-run on your own setup before it leaves the factory. What arrives is a finished machine, not a kit of parts.

Setup on your side is mechanical: position the machine, connect power and compressed air, plug in the network cable. There is no algorithm training on your factory floor. The defect models were trained on your samples while the machine was being built.

How Remote Installation Works, Step by Step

Before shipping. Your samples are tested in our lab, the setup is agreed, and the drawing and acceptance criteria are approved. This is where the machine is effectively installed, on paper.

On arrival. Your team positions the machine, connects power and air, and checks the network link. We confirm the checklist with you before power-up.

Start-up. An engineer joins you by live video for the first power-up, parameter restore and recipe recall. The recipe came from your samples, so this session is verification, not trial and error.

First production runs. We stay with you through the first runs and review the result images. We adjust lighting or thresholds if your material batch behaves differently from the samples.

Handover. We walk operators and maintenance staff through daily operation, recipe switching and basic fault finding. The English training material ships with the machine.

A single standard machine is normally started up within one to two working days. This assumes the machine is in position, with power, air and internet connected.

What Is Included and What Is Quoted Separately

A general promise of support is not useful. Here is the full version instead.

Item	Included as standard	Arranged separately
Machine state on delivery	Fully assembled, calibrated, factory test-run on your configuration	—
Installation	Guided remote installation with video support	On-site start-up by our engineer, quoted per project
Training	Operator and engineer training material in English, plus video training	Tailored on-site training
Debugging access	24/7 remote debugging during the 12-month warranty	—
Spare parts	Whole-machine warranty for 12 months	Spare parts logistics after the warranty period
Line integration	Standard interfaces — RS-232, Ethernet/IP and digital I/O — plus custom integration for feeders, conveyors, packaging machines and MES systems	Deep on-site integration work with third-party equipment

When Remote Support Is Enough — and When a Site Visit Makes Sense

Situation	Remote support	On-site visit
First power-up, parameter restore on a new machine	Standard practice	—
Recipe changeover, new part family	Handled remotely	—
One standard machine, simple line	Handled remotely	—
Several machines integrated with an existing line	Can be led remotely	Recommended
Site constraints — space, feeding height, layout changes	Remote assessment is limited	Required

We would rather tell you which column you are in before you order, not after the machine lands.

What We Need on Your Side

Five things are needed. All are ordinary, but each one can delay start-up if it is missed:

• Power — machines are built for AC 220V 50/60Hz single phase by default. 110V and 380V versions can be configured for your country.

• Air — 0.5 to 0.7 MPa of clean, dry compressed air.

• Network — a stable internet link at the machine, for start-up and for remote debugging afterwards.

• People — an operator available during the agreed window, with decision authority for acceptance.

• Space — the machine positioned and level, with room for the bins or conveyors that receive sorted parts.

After Handover

Every machine carries a 12-month warranty on the whole machine, plus lifetime software upgrades that include improvements to the defect-detection algorithms. Remote debugging access runs 24/7. That matters more than it sounds. A site visit means visa, flights and scheduling. Remote access lets our engineers connect to the machine over the network, adjust parameters, refine the model and confirm the fix while you watch.

If a problem cannot be resolved remotely, we say so and escalate to a site visit. That decision is made together, not left with you.

The First Step Is Samples, Not Installation

The installation question is usually asked last, but it is decided first. Send your parts with your inspection needs. Our engineers run them in our Dongguan lab, then recommend the right platform and setup. You receive a detection rate report, camera layout and cycle time before any quotation. The machine that ships is then the machine your parts need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide on-site installation in India, Vietnam or Indonesia?

On-site start-up is available on request and is quoted per project. It is not included in the standard price. Remote installation with video support is the standard method, and it covers most single-machine installations. If your line has several machines, or third-party integration, tell us during evaluation and we will quote on-site support for it.

What does the machine arrive as?

The machine arrives fully assembled and calibrated. It was test-run in the factory on the setup agreed from your samples. Your team positions it, connects power and air, and our engineers complete start-up remotely with you.

What do you need from us before remote installation?

Three things: a stable internet link at the machine, an operator free during the agreed window, and the sample-based recipe confirmed beforehand. Power and air must also meet the published specs — AC 220V 50/60Hz by default, with 110V and 380V configurable, and 0.5 to 0.7 MPa of clean dry air.

What happens if we cannot get the machine running?

The process is staged so this is caught early: samples are tested in the lab first, the recipe is built from your parts, and start-up is done with our engineers on the call. If a problem cannot be fixed remotely, we escalate to on-site support. The decision is made together, not left to you.

How long does commissioning take?

A single standard machine is normally started up within one to two working days, once it is in position with power, air and internet connected. Multi-machine lines, and third-party integration, take longer and are scheduled in advance.

What if we need an engineer on site later, after handover?

You request it and we quote it, with lead time for visa and travel. Many customers never need it. The 12-month warranty includes 24/7 remote debugging access and lifetime software upgrades. Together these fix most issues without travel.

The first step is not installation — it is samples

Buyers across India and Southeast Asia run our vision inspection machines with confidence, because support no longer depends on an engineer standing next to the line. For fastener and screw manufacturers, the practical first step is free sample evaluation: send your parts with your inspection requirements, and our engineers recommend the right machine configuration — no cost, no commitment.
