Case study of automated visual inspection: *Automated inspection case of fine defects on metal surfaces*

A case of automated visual inspection using XY operating robots to continuously inspect fine defects occurring on the surfaces of metals and glass.

Would you like to switch from "visual inspection" to "automated inspection using a camera" for the appearance inspection of fine defects on metal and glass surfaces? We would like to introduce a practical example of the "iVision Robot," which installs a camera on a general-purpose XY stage moving device to sequentially move to specified locations and conduct inspections. By using a two-dimensional operating stage, it becomes possible to sequentially inspect specified locations and confirm where and what kind of defects were present. When conducting repeated inspections using a magnifying glass, there may be areas that are not inspected, leading to oversight. However, since this system operates automatically, it can avoid that issue. 【Features of this system】 ■ By using a two-dimensional operating stage, it is possible to inspect wide areas sequentially. ■ By moving automatically, it can thoroughly inspect the target area even for detailed inspections. ■ It indicates the coordinates of defects and displays a map showing where and what kind of defects were found. ■ The device can be modified based on the inspection content. First, we will verify whether the work you wish to inspect is feasible. *Detailed processing information and flow are provided in the PDF.
