Abstract

This video demonstrates the completed scintillator cube inspection and screening system incorporating a 6-axis robotic arm, as described in Section 5 of the associated manuscript. In addition to the imaging and analysis functions of the prototype system, the robotic arm automatically picks up each cube after inspection and sorts it into one of 48 categories based on the measured hole positions while preserving its orientation. The video shows the coordinated operation of the rotating stage, cameras, image analysis software, and robotic arm, including cube pickup using a vacuum gripper and placement into designated slots. This system enables more refined classification and improved quality control, reducing the defective rate to 3.1% while maintaining reliable and stable operation. The inspection time is approximately 15 seconds per cube.
