We received an inquiry via email from an electronic component manufacturer considering automated visual inspection. They were experiencing issues with a workpiece that has a grommet inside the connector, making it difficult to determine by hand whether it has been inserted all the way to the back of the connector, leading to incidents of insufficiently inserted items being shipped to customers. We conducted a simple verification after receiving photos. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "Presence or Absence of Specified Color" function of EasyInspector, we were able to determine the presence or absence of the grommet in four locations. While it may also be possible to detect the plastic lock part and provide pass/fail judgment, detecting the crimp terminal (the silver part) would likely result in more stable inspection. As for the operational method, it is also possible to take photos from an angle for inspection; the inspection cycle time was 0.16 seconds. 【Software Used】 Software used: EasyInspector710 (formerly EasyInspector) The current 'EasyInspector2' color package can perform inspections with the "Presence or Absence of Specified Color" feature.

This time, we have a verification project from a trading company we have been dealing with for some time. It involves measuring the connector's opening. The end user has requested a stricter tolerance judgment this time. The accuracy of the inspection is determined by how well we can capture the defective parts in the image inspection. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using EasyInspector's "Dimension and Angle Inspection" feature, we were able to measure the dimensions of eight holes. The left image shows an enlarged view of the master screen, while the right image displays an enlarged view of the measured judgment frame. We used a 20-megapixel camera available in our company to measure the dimensions of several cross-sections. The field of view is 43mm wide, and with a width of 5496 pixels, the size of one pixel is 0.0078mm. To conduct a more stable inspection, a factor of 3 to 5 times this is necessary. Since the inspection may be somewhat rough, we reported that the feasibility of operation would depend on how much the end user can tolerate.

We received inquiries from material manufacturers as well. This is a simple verification based on the images provided. Our inspection software is used by a wide range of customers for inspecting minute dirt on products. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 We conducted the inspection using the EasyInspector "Scratch and Defect Inspection" function, but it also detected some dark black areas from rubbing. If we could illuminate the area we want to detect from a diagonal angle and make it physically easier to see, it is likely that detection would be more stable. If sending sample products is difficult, you can download EasyInspector from our website to experience the scratch detection inspection firsthand. Additionally, we offer a demo unit rental service, so equipment such as cameras and lenses can also be rented. 【Software Used】 Software used: EasyInspector710 (formerly EasyInspector) You can conduct inspections with the current 'EasyInspector2' color package for [Scratch and Defect Detection].

• Image Processing Software

This is an inquiry from an electronic component manufacturer primarily engaged in the production of printed circuit boards. They have requested a simple verification of metal etching processing. Inspection of fine defects can be conducted meticulously using enlarged images. Our company has contracts with agents in Malaysia and China, and sales are also possible. We have also received inquiries from Japanese manufacturers whose products are manufactured at overseas offices. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 Using EasyInspector's "Comparison with Master Image" function, we focused on the smallest defect among the 12 workpieces you sent. We divided the inspection frame into multiple sections and performed shift correction for each to minimize the detection of noise. However, the inspection time takes about 15 seconds. To shorten the inspection cycle, we suggest using multiple cameras or lowering the resolution. However, reducing the resolution may affect the detection capability (stability) of extremely small defects.

• Image Processing Software

The electronic components manufacturer has considered our character recognition for product management. Sample images have been sent. The inspection software called EasyInspector, which you inquired about, is used by customers in the automotive parts and electronic circuit board sectors, making up half of our clientele, and it is also utilized by a wide range of industries for tasks such as assembly verification and inspection of minute dirt on products. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 As shown in the red box in the left image, reading was possible with the EasyInspector "OCR" function in a well-lit environment. If the lighting conditions are improved to uniformly illuminate the entire area, it may be possible to read everything at once. In the current lighting environment, there were misreads with the standard OCR function, such as reading S as 3. However, it was possible to read using the OCR Pro function. 【Software Used】 Software used: EasyInspector710 (formerly EasyInspector) The current 'EasyInspector2' RD (ReaDing) package can perform inspections with 【OCR (character recognition)】 and 【machine learning OCR】.

This is the first inquiry from a specialized trading company dealing with aircraft and space equipment. The content was about searching for simple inspection equipment (including software). They seemed to be interested in our products for conducting shape inspections of relatively flat components, approximately 40 cm square. We are also able to accommodate inspection verification and demo units, and we have sent detailed materials as well. 【Inspection Setup and Results】 We conducted measurements on five types of samples that we received. By imaging the edges of the components with transmitted lighting and using the "Dimension Angle Inspection" function of EasyInspector, we were able to perform the inspections. The dimensions were converted based on the dimensions of the good products. The samples we have are typically discarded after two weeks. If you wish to have them returned, we kindly ask that you contact us by phone or email within one week after the report is sent.

This time, we received an inquiry from a lighting equipment manufacturer. As the demand for inspection automation due to labor shortages has been increasing year by year, there are various types of image inspection systems. Based on over 2,000 successful implementations, our all-in-one image inspection software, themed "easy operation for on-site users," is steadily increasing its implementation results. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 As a result of verification with the sample provided, it was possible to inspect for missing connectors. We created a simple fixture using blocks for the inspection. The field of view was set to accommodate the entire workpiece, and we used EasyInspectors for the "presence or absence of specified color inspection." This time, inspection frames were set at four locations. The left image shows the master image that was set. The light blue and red areas are for misalignment correction. The right image, "Detection Frame 002," shows a failure indication in red because the cable was not inserted. The blue frame indicates a passing detection frame.

A comprehensive electronic components manufacturer is considering our inspection software with the aim of reducing mistakes and man-hours as they transfer equipment to Japan. Until now, there was only one pattern of printing, but due to requests from users, there is a need to inspect different engravings for each user to avoid errors. **[Inspection Settings and Results]** By using the "Comparison with Master Image" function of EasyInspector, we were able to evaluate the laser printing at six locations. The left image shows the settings. The red and blue boxes in the right image indicate the alignment correction frames. EasyInspector is an easy-to-use, general-purpose image inspection software that can utilize low-cost USB cameras. By simply installing the software and connecting commercially available webcams, you can build an inspection system in a DIY manner that is both low-cost and simple. Since all components, including the image processing engine, are developed in-house, we can flexibly accommodate customizations. **[Software Used]** Software used: EasyInspector The current 'EasyInspector2' color package allows inspection using the "Comparison with Master Image" feature.

There was an inspection deficiency in the card edge processing section of the printed circuit board, resulting in defective products being released to the end user, which caused damage to the counterpart's motherboard connector. We received a request from an electronic component manufacturer to establish a cost-effective automated inspection system as a permanent solution. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using EasyInspector's "Dimension Angle Inspection" feature, we were able to detect the difference between good and defective products and make a judgment in 0.35 seconds. However, the measurement section during verification is not the accurate width of the tip but rather the vertical dimension of the screen. The left image shows the master image (settings screen) where the inspection area is specified with pink and green lines. The right image displays the inspection results, with pass results shown in blue.

There have been inquiries about the setup method to automate new inspections even from electronic component manufacturers who are already using EasyInspector. There was a request to use the current imaging environment for a different inspection, but since the size of the inspection target is smaller, it was decided to send samples for verification. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using EasyInspector's "OCR Pro" function, we were able to successfully inspect five locations. Our company's ring lighting was not large enough to capture the entire workpiece, but we were able to confirm all requested inspections. The camera and lens were installed directly above to ensure the printed components could be verified. We created five inspection frames for this inspection. The image on the left shows the list displayed on the inspection results screen. The image on the right is the detailed settings screen for recording in CSV and image format.

We received an inquiry from a representative of a manufacturer of pneumatic devices and control equipment who is considering changing the current visual inspection standards for the dimensional inspection of parts processed by work machines to data-based standards. They expressed a desire to keep a record of the product dimensions and provided sample images. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 We conducted a simple verification of inspections using both EasyInspector and DeepSky. Both were able to detect the dimensions. Our company can offer both the traditional rule-based inspection software "EasyInspector" (detection results are shown in the left image) and the AI (deep learning) based "DeepSky" (detection results are shown in the right image) as needed. For recording methods, there are options to save as SCV (Excel) and inspection images. 【Software Used】 Software used: EasyInspector, DeepSky

Harness length: A free simple evaluation was conducted to detect incorrect assembly of work parts (different connector colors, different connector shapes), missing parts, and surplus assembly for lengths of 500 to 1000 mm. In the inspection process, automation is being promoted with the aim of pursuing stable inspection accuracy and reducing costs. As the shortage of personnel due to the aging workforce becomes more pronounced, please consider improving operational efficiency through image inspection to protect "Japanese manufacturing." [Inspection Settings and Results] By creating a simple fixed jig and capturing images within the range that accommodates the entire product, it was possible to distinguish the presence or absence of the O-ring on the bush and the color difference of the semi-lock. It is difficult to detect band or tube missing parts in the overall field of view. While it may be possible to detect them by capturing images individually with magnification, this would increase the number of cameras and inspection cycles. In this case, inspections for "presence" or "absence" and distinguishing between "gray" or "blue" were possible simultaneously in a single learning setup.

Automotive parts and other resin-molded components may vary in the presence of clips, colors, or positions due to differences in specifications. However, in the case of similar products, accidents have occurred where similar but different items were shipped because they looked almost identical. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using EasyInspector's "Presence of Specified Color Inspection" feature, we were able to detect differences in the color and position of clips in nine locations and determine similar-looking items (different products) in 0.24 seconds. Our company offers verification and support from technical staff on a daily basis. If you have any issues, questions, or uncertainties during operation, please feel free to contact us at any time.

We conducted a free evaluation of the appearance inspection of resin molded products. This involved detecting foreign objects, burrs, and shorts in a circular part with a diameter of 35mm. The ideal inspection setup was to observe the parts on a conveyor without fixing their position, with a target inspection cycle of 1 to 2 seconds. This inquiry is a case that falls within the expertise of our appearance inspection software, DeepSky. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 Regarding the detection of "foreign objects, burrs, and shorts" in the resin molded products you sent, we were able to detect foreign objects and burrs with high accuracy. For the foreign objects in the samples you provided, we achieved nearly 100% detection. For the burrs in the samples you provided, we also achieved nearly 100% detection. For shorts (missing pieces), we achieved nearly 100% detection in the samples you provided. However, for shorts (small chips), there were instances where detection was not possible, with an accuracy of about 20-30%. This time, we used software called DeepSky, which employs AI (Deep Learning) for inspection. By training the software on the areas we want to detect, it adjusts its own settings and improves its recognition capabilities.

This is an inquiry from the manufacturer of air pumps. This time, we will check the possibility of missing paint removal. Our company, SkyLogic, has a track record of over 2,000 image inspections. We have published numerous inspection cases for metals, plastics, food, electronic substrates, pharmaceuticals, etc., so please check our case search tool to see if there are similar cases to the inspection you are considering. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 We conducted verification using the samples you sent. We were able to distinguish between the painted areas and the removed areas, so we believe that the inspection for missed removal is feasible. We also think it is possible to inspect the sides simultaneously and confirm the presence or absence of marks and labels. However, in both cases, it will involve inspecting multiple surfaces, and positional shifts may affect the inspection, so we believe it is necessary to fix the position of the workpiece using jigs or similar tools. (If the inspection is only for one surface, the shift correction function can probably be used.) The left image shows the imaging environment. The right image shows the settings.

We received an inquiry from a company that manufactures hose parts for automobiles and motorcycles. It was decided to conduct a simple verification of the presence or absence of marks on the workpieces, as well as their sizes and dimensions, and they sent us images. In authoritative verification, it is common to receive images to report on whether a simple verification can be conducted, and afterwards, we will carry out more specific verifications such as consultations on operational methods. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using EasyInspector's "Presence or Absence of Specified Color Inspection" function, we were able to inspect the presence or absence and size of three marks. Dimension measurement was conducted using the "Dimension Angle Inspection" function. The left image shows the detection of marks. The right image is an enlarged view of the dimension detection screen.

A plastic processing manufacturer requested a simple verification to count the number of products on a tray. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 As a result of the verification with samples, the number of products on the tray could be counted accurately. However, if there is extreme unevenness in the way light hits the products, false detections are likely to occur. While counting was possible, it seemed necessary to adjust the lighting environment so that the entire setup appears to have a similar color tone. (During the verification, adjustments were made under indoor lighting to the exposure time and the position of the inspection frame to avoid false detections.) 【Software and Equipment Used】 Software Used: EasyInspector710 (formerly EasyInspector) Field of View: Approximately 531 x 426 mm Minimum Size of Inspection Target: 15 mm Number of Inspection Points: 1 Camera Resolution: 1.3 Megapixels Lens Focal Length: 8 mm Distance Between Lens and Product: Approximately 700 mm Lighting: Indoor Fluorescent Light

The manufacturer that produces electronic measuring instruments has been experiencing issues with defective label displays on their products, such as "overall misalignment," "printing errors (numeric parts)," and "interrupted borders." Therefore, it was decided to send samples for a simple verification. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 We have reported the verification results of the samples we received. It was possible to detect "overall misalignment," "printing errors (numeric parts)," and "interrupted borders" on the labels and determine them as failures. All three types of inspection items can be checked at once. This time, the inspection frame is set only for the areas with defects. In reality, it is not known where the defects will occur, so "printing errors" and "interrupted borders" need to be installed in all areas that should be inspected.

We have received a request for a system that can perform character verification (comparison inspection) of machine nameplates. This is from a trading company dealing with electronic measuring instruments, testing machines, and industrial equipment. [Inspection Settings and Results] As a result of verification conducted with the sample we received, we were able to make a judgment in 0.22 seconds using the 'Comparison with Master Image' feature of EasyInspector. The red dots and numbers in the image display the number of pixels around the detected areas. Since we can set parameters suitable for each case, such as printing errors or overall misalignment, it is possible to prevent excessive detection or under-detection. [Software and Equipment Used] Software used: EasyInspector710 (formerly EasyInspector) Field of view: Approximately 246 x 205 mm Minimum size of inspection target: 2 mm Number of inspection points: 8 Camera resolution: 5 million pixels Lens focal length: 8 mm Distance between lens and product: Approximately 310 mm Lighting: Two linear fluorescent lamps Distance between lighting and inspection item: About 100 mm diagonally above the workpiece Current 'EasyInspector2' color package can perform inspections with 'Comparison with Master Image'.

We conducted a simple verification of the detection of scratches on metal parts. In our communication with the customer, we sometimes report both the traditional rule-based inspection software and the AI (deep learning)-based inspection software for their consideration of which is better. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 As a result of the verification using the samples provided, scratches on metal parts were detectable by using ring lighting. By utilizing the "Scratch Inspection" feature of EasyInspector, we were able to detect scratches in 0.34 seconds from one location (the entire screen). Adjustments to the settings are necessary for different diameters and lengths. DeepSky also achieved static detection in 0.3 seconds. The left image is an enlarged view of the detection area from EasyInspector. The right image is an enlarged view of the detection frame from DeepSky.

We received an inquiry about nut measurement from a manufacturer of mission parts such as truck components. I believe that traditional methods of "image analysis" and "image processing" will not be completely replaced by AI (deep learning). Depending on the customer's wishes and operational conditions, we will consider more cost-effective proposals through free simple verification and report back. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using EasyInspector's "Dimension Angle Inspection" feature, we were able to measure one dimension in 0.52 seconds. In the left image, the good product was detected within the reference value and was deemed "pass." In the right image, when a different nut (with a different height) was attached, it exceeded the height reference value, resulting in a "fail" judgment.

We received feedback from an automobile manufacturer regarding issues with the left and right wheel pins being incorrectly installed. This time, we are considering an inspection method to distinguish between "R" and "L" before the parts are installed in the automobile products. The orientation of the bolt markings is inconsistent, and we are exploring the possibility of checking them while they are aligned on the parts feeder. 【Inspection Setup and Results】 By using the "Comparison with Master Image" feature of EasyInspector, we were able to determine the left and right bolts. We attempted to identify them using the R and L markings, but detection was not successful due to reflections. Therefore, in this verification, we reported that by inspecting the orientation of the threaded part of the bolt, we could successfully distinguish between the R and L bolts in a well-aligned situation on the parts feeder in 0.36 seconds.

A manufacturer that develops and sells electronic components and devices inquired at our booth during the exhibition. In light of the current social situation, we are also accommodating meetings via web conference. After understanding the overview of our systems and software, it is common for us to receive sample submissions. Following detailed discussions, we can provide specific proposals regarding operational methods, making the process smooth. [Inspection Settings and Results] As a result, we were able to detect all 10 locations of the NG (reverse attachment) parts. However, there was one location at the edge of the screen (where only half of the pin is visible) that was misjudged. (The NG parts created by processing the images total 10 locations, but the verification resulted in detecting 11 locations.) Currently, it is difficult to distinguish between OK and NG in the images, so adjustments are needed to enhance the differences, such as improving the lighting. For "DeepSky," the resolution of the images we received (16M) is too large, so additional software to split the images will be necessary. [Software Used] Software Used: DeepSky

The manufacturer, who is active mainly in industrial machine blades, seems to be interested in both DeepSky, which uses AI (deep learning), and the conventional rule-based EasyInspector, and has sent us sample products. This report is on the inspection conducted using EasyInspector. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "Comparison with Master Image" feature of EasyInspector, we were able to detect the difference in one hole and determine visually similar items (different products) in 1.64 seconds. The offset correction frames were placed on the corner part of the workpiece (red frame) and the hole part (light blue frame). In the image on the right, the white color of the pin appears in the shadowed area of the groove, and this part is detected as a difference and marked in red, resulting in a judgment of NG (not good).

• Image Processing Software

This is an inquiry from an industrial equipment manufacturer we have been in contact with for some time. Our inspection software has a track record of over 2,000 image inspections. We have numerous inspection cases published, including metals, plastics, food, electronic substrates, and pharmaceuticals, so please check our website to see if there are similar cases to the inspections you are considering. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using various functions of EasyInspector, we were able to detect the presence or position differences of 55 locations and determine visually similar products (non-conforming items) in 0.54 seconds. Regarding NG items like pins, it has been reported that a setting where detecting the unpainted black state instead of the blue paint is stable, and for settings where exceeding the boundaries is NG, it is better to inspect based on the pixel count of the specified color within the frame rather than using size determination for the detection points.

• Image Processing Software

We received an inquiry from an electronics manufacturer who is trying to create a simple inspection jig by linking a general-purpose camera and a general-purpose PC at the lowest possible cost. They want to detect issues such as bent pins on circuit board connectors and mistakes in ROM installation using a camera, and we have accepted their request for preliminary verification. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "Comparison with Master Image" feature of EasyInspector, we detected 31 differences and were able to determine visually similar items (different products) in 3.85 seconds. However, there are conditions. We verified the deformation of the connector as "large." The bending of the pins was created by us, but the deviation in the tip position due to bending is likely to be significant (over 1mm). For the inspection of the connector's "lock" state, since the normal "lock" state was unknown, we initially reported the detection by comparing it to the open state. 【Software Used】 Software used: EasyInspector710 (formerly EasyInspector) The current 'EasyInspector2' color package can perform inspections using the "Comparison with Master Image" feature.

A metal processing manufacturer established during the Taisho era is achieving meticulous product management using our inspection software. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "Presence of Specified Color Inspection" feature of EasyInspector, we were able to detect excess material on a pin in one location and make a judgment in 0.09 seconds. In this inspection, when there is excess material on the pin, the image appears as if "the black ring is missing," so we set the criteria to determine pass or fail based on whether the amount of detected black falls below the standard value. When performing image processing under the same conditions, there was a difference in detection amounts between OK and NG products, allowing us to distinguish between the two states through image comparison. However, since the color judgment tolerance range was set somewhat strictly, there is a risk that detection may not be stable depending on conditions such as the brightness of the imaging environment. 【Software Used】 Software Used: EasyInspector Current 'EasyInspector2' color package can inspect for the "Presence of Specified Color."

We are considering the introduction of inspection equipment even in tool and machinery manufacturing companies. Recently, due to the impact of declining birth rates and an aging population across various fields, securing skilled workers has become a significant social issue. I feel that an opportunity has arisen to survive and grow businesses by entrusting inspections and judgments to image analysis instead of relying solely on human visual checks. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "Presence or Absence of Designated Color Inspection" feature of EasyInspector, we were able to determine the presence or absence of 13 pins in 0.57 seconds. The left image shows the live feed, while the right image indicates that the areas with pins inside the holes are marked in blue as "pass," and the areas without pins are displayed in red as "fail." The current 'EasyInspector2' color package can be used for inspections of the "Presence or Absence of Designated Color."

We received inquiries from manufacturers of semiconductors and electronic components, and we conducted a simple verification of the dimensions of electronic parts and terminals. In cases where it is difficult to ship samples, we offer demo units for free, allowing users to experience the inspection software firsthand. Additionally, a trial version is available for download on our website. The inspection software allows for easy pass/fail judgment, operated similarly to Windows software. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 We conducted verification using the samples we received. As a result, we were able to measure the dimensions of the specified terminal parts of each component and make judgments. By using the "Dimension Angle Inspection" function of EasyInspector, we measured 10 positions and made judgments in 3.83 seconds. The left image is an enlarged view of the inspection settings screen. The right image is the inspection results table, where it is possible to set dimension conversion values and record them in CSV format as needed.

The manufacturer of the autonomous driving support system has been a partner of our company for some time. This time, we will determine the presence or absence of solder. By using the "presence or absence of specified color" function of EasyInspector, we were able to conduct the inspection. If we can detect "only the color of unsoldered areas" as shown in the image, we can determine pass or fail. This inspection is very important for the "color of the copper foil in unsoldered areas," and if this color can be captured consistently and stably, the inspection becomes easy. However, if there is a mix of "bright copper color" and "dark copper color" due to lighting unevenness, the inspection becomes difficult. [Software Used] Software: EasyInspector The current 'EasyInspector2' color package can be used for inspection with the "presence or absence of specified color."

One of the common inquiries we receive from customers is regarding the inspection of cable lengths and colors. As a basic procedure, we first request customers to send sample products for a preliminary verification. The inspection framework has been established for each wiring (8 colors) and each terminal (7 locations). Both the lead wires and terminals utilized EasyInspector's "presence or absence of specified color" inspection. For lead wires, the specified colors (8 colors) are designated from the screen, and for terminals, the yellow part of the terminal is specified from the screen. If the specified color is present in a quantity greater than the lower limit, it is considered a pass (OK). If the lead wire does not have the specified color in a quantity above the lower limit, it is judged as a different position (NG). If the quantity of the specified color for the terminal is insufficient, it is deemed as insufficient insertion (NG).

The electronic component manufacturer that inquired this time was considering automating product management by recording the reading of characters printed on electronic components. This is a simple verification of reading characters printed on the circuit board. Our inspection software includes basic functions for saving inspection results in CSV or image formats, which can be utilized for product management across various industries. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "OCR Reading" feature of EasyInspector, it was possible to read 12 characters at one location. If you want to add the serial value to the file name of the recorded image, you need to create software that automatically renames it or specify the file name using external control commands to save the image. 【Software Used】 Software Used: EasyInspector710 (formerly EasyInspector) The current 'EasyInspector2' RD (ReaDing) package can perform inspections with [OCR (Optical Character Recognition)] and [Machine Learning OCR].

This is an image inspection judgment to determine whether the electronic circuit board implementation is correct. The criteria are (1) tilt (2) vertical position (3) missing parts (4) misalignment and lifting. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 The inspection was conducted using our software EasyInspector. For tilt and missing parts, it was possible to use the "presence of specified color inspection" feature. It was set up so that if the components illuminated by the lighting could be detected as white within the inspection frame, it would be considered a pass. For vertical position, misalignment, and lifting, the "comparison with master image" feature was used, and it was set to pass if the difference from the master image was within 5%. It was able to detect the presence and positional differences of 8 holes and make judgments in less than one second. 【Software and Equipment Used】 Software used: EasyInspector310 (formerly EasyInspector) Field of view: 166 x 88 mm Minimum size of inspection target: 0.5 mm Number of inspection points: 8 Camera resolution: 3 million pixels Lens focal length: 12 mm Distance between lens and product: 530 mm Lighting: Two linear fluorescent lamps The current 'EasyInspector2' color package can perform inspections using the "presence of specified color" feature.

The electronic circuit board manufacturer has been using our inspection software for some time. This time, we have received a request to conduct a simple verification of the feasibility regarding board assembly. Our company offers verification and support from technical staff on a daily basis. If you have any issues, questions, or uncertainties while using our software, please feel free to contact us at any time. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 Using the "Comparison with Master Image" feature of EasyInspector, we were able to set up and determine the absence of connectors and reverse insertion. The red areas in the image display the detected pixels, which is an enlarged view of the detection screen. Regarding the sample circuit board you sent, it seems that with just one camera, we can only detect the presence or orientation of large components. Since conducting inspections is inherently challenging without a method that segments the imaging area and moves the work and camera, we will use a movable inspection device for the inspection.

Inquiries about electronic components, especially circuit boards, can be said to be the most common cases we receive. Currently, our inspection software is being used for over 1,000 various image inspections. [Inspection Settings and Results] By using the "Comparison with Master Image" feature of EasyInspector, it was possible to check for the presence of five chip components and whether the IC printing was present. However, detecting components with text could not be done with just one camera. By narrowing the field of view and installing multiple cameras, detection may be possible. The blue frame in the image indicates the detection frame for pass items, while the red frame indicates the detection frame for fail items. [Software Used] Software used: EasyInspector710 (formerly EasyInspector) The current 'EasyInspector2' color package can perform inspections with the "Comparison with Master Image" feature.

This is an inquiry from an electronic component manufacturer. We will inspect the harness attached to the connector. Our company offers a "simple evaluation service" provided by technical staff free of charge. If detection or judgment can be made during the simple evaluation, we will conduct a "feasibility verification" test, which simulates actual operation, to evaluate processing time and judgment accuracy. Additionally, we offer free rental of demo units, allowing users to experience the inspection software firsthand, and we recommend implementation only after they are satisfied. 【Inspection Settings and Results】 By using the "Presence of Specified Color Inspection" function of EasyInspector, we were able to inspect two locations. To conduct a simple verification, we edited the images of the samples we received and created images of defective products with color swaps. The blue display indicates a pass in the inspection results, while the red display indicates a fail.

In the automotive parts sector, particularly with mission parts manufacturers, we have previously conducted simple verifications of multiple samples for our valued customers. This time, we will measure the diameter of holes in metal components. 【Inspection Setup and Results】 By using the "Dimension and Angle Inspection" feature of EasyInspector, it was possible to measure the dimensions of two holes in just 0.5 seconds. We set it up to measure the distance from the center coordinates of each circle. By comparing the coordinates of the centers of each circle, we detected that they were within the specified value (29mm ± 0.4mm), resulting in a "Pass" judgment indicated by the blue enclosure in the image on the right. 【Software and Equipment Used】 Software Used: EasyInspector Field of View: Approximately 43 x 24mm Minimum Size of Inspection Target: 2mm Number of Inspection Points: 8 Camera Resolution: 1.3 Megapixels Lens Focal Length: 25mm Distance from Lens to Product: Approximately 530mm Lighting: Surface Emission Lighting Distance from Lighting to Inspection Item: Approximately 40mm The current 'EasyInspector2' MS (MeaSure) package allows for inspections of [Position and Width Measurement] and [Angle Measurement].
