Case Study of Automated Visual Inspection: Example of Defect Inspection for Rod-Shaped Metal Products
Image Processing Appearance Inspection System "iVision"
An example of automated visual inspection using XY operational robots and trays with rotating mechanisms to inspect the entire side surface of rod-shaped metal and resin products.
Regarding the side inspection of cylindrical products arranged on a dedicated tray equipped with a rotating mechanism: "Shall we switch from visual inspection to automated inspection using a camera?" We will introduce a practical example of the "iVision Robot" that combines a general-purpose XY stage movement device with a special tray. In the side inspection of cylindrical components, it is common to inspect each item one by one while rotating the inspection target, which can be very costly to create a dedicated inspection device. Therefore, by creating a simple rotating device equipped with a dedicated tray and using it in conjunction with a movable camera, it is possible to create a relatively inexpensive device. 【Features of this system】 ■ Enables side inspection of cylindrical products using a dedicated tray and a two-dimensional movable stage ■ Allows for the introduction of an inspection device at a relatively low cost without creating an independent inspection device ■ Displays a map indicating the location and type of defects on the tray ■ 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, including details and processing flow, is provided in the PDF.
