New concerns

This is a story about a client who built an inspection system with FlexInspector and started fully automated inspections.
Since the client was inspecting a series of parts, the only method they could use was to stop the inspection and make corrections (mainly removal of foreign objects) when NG was detected.
As a result of the introduction of the system, "The system stopped every minute due to its high detection capacity. In the end, we had to have a person on duty. However, "there are no false alarms, and the system only stops when there is always something there. Quality is not keeping up with inspections. We need to improve our upstream processes." And.
#By the way, we inspect a 30 mm square field of view with a 1.3 megapixel camera and are sure to catch dust at a level that can be visually confirmed. This is one of the most successful cases, partly because the object is stable.
As this example shows, introducing inspection equipment with high detection capability can expose weak points in quality. This is a new concern.
The #FlexInspector also has a setting for the size of defects to be detected, which can be loose. In this case, one of the reasons that makes the story more difficult is that it is not possible to loosen it because it is impossible to distinguish on the image whether it is dust or another critical defect.
