Top and side inspection with one camera Part 4

This is an inquiry about a special optical lens that can be used with a slightly larger workpiece distance. Natsume Kogaku's cone side viewer is not available as a standard product, but it seems to be a custom-made product according to the work size. The feeling of use was good. Currently, there is a [...].

Top and side inspection with one camera Part 3

The following is an image of a hyper-telecentric lens being tested. We are using ring lighting. In order to see the sides of the image, the work distance has to be very narrow. The light does not reach the top of the lens, so the side of the lens is not [...].

Top and side inspection with one camera Part 2

  When I tried with a nut, the side of the nut was a little dark and the field of view was small when the work distance was about 5mm. I tried to get even closer and got a rather good image. However, if the work distance is negative [...].

Inspection of casting castings

THERE IS A GREAT NEED FOR INSPECTION OF CASTINGS. HOWEVER, IT IS TRUE THAT SUBTLE NG IS DIFFICULT TO DISCERN. VISUAL INSPECTORS ACTUALLY INSPECT THE WORKPIECE WHILE TILTING IT. THIS MEANS THAT: 1. THE LIGHTING IS FROM ONE DIRECTION AND THE WORKPIECE IS INSPECTED MANY TIMES BY TILTING IT. 2. 2. INSPECT THE WORKPIECE FROM VARIOUS ANGLES [...].

Noise Suppression 5

THE PRODUCTS WE HANDLE, SUCH AS CAMERAS, ILLUMINATORS, PCS, AND PLCS, ARE ALL IN THE WEAK POWER CATEGORY. THEREFORE, THEY ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH HIGH POWER EQUIPMENT SUCH AS MOTORS AND INVERTERS. IN CASES WHERE THE EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER'S UNDERSTANDING IS NOT OBTAINED AND IT IS UNAVOIDABLE, WE CAN PROVIDE CAMERAS, LIGHTING DEVICES, PCS, AND PLCS.

Noise Suppression 4

THE BASIC NOISE COUNTERMEASURES ARE TO KEEP WEAKLY POWERED (E.G., 24 VDC) AND STRONGLY POWERED (E.G., 100 VAC) EQUIPMENT AS FAR AWAY FROM EACH OTHER AS POSSIBLE. CABLES SHOULD ALSO BE SEPARATED, NOT BUNDLED TOGETHER. IT IS A MATTER OF COURSE [...].
