Start of FlexInspector DLLing
For some time now, we have often been asked, "Can we incorporate FlexInspector into our own applications?" We have often been asked, "Can we incorporate FlexInspector into our own applications? However, since FlexInspector itself is a closed application, we are unable to meet such requests [...].
FlexInspector over FlexInspector
A function that we have been "sorry" for is now "stuck" due to customer requirements. We are now reviewing the code drastically for the first time in a long time. The main points are: 1) Significant improvement of the good registration function 2) Improvement of responsiveness when handling large data 3 [...].
Challenges Faced
We are facing similar challenges in several ongoing projects. All of these projects have received a satisfactory score in the evaluation phase for their "ability to detect good products," but when it comes time to put them into the field, we are not sure how we will be able to achieve the same level of performance in day-to-day operations.
lead
With FlexInspector, we feel that we are almost at the end of the road in terms of detection capability in automated visual inspection. Therefore, there is no longer a need to develop algorithms on a case-by-case basis, and we are moving forward with the development of "next generation" technologies. For example... 1) 64bi [...].
LINKAGE WITH HIGH-PRECISION XY STAGE FOR MICROSCOPE
We will exhibit a device that inspects individual pieces at high speed using a high precision XY stage (150mm stroke) for microscopes manufactured by Chuo Precision Industrial Co. Using a special imaging technique, the system captures and inspects images while moving. The maximum movement speed is 16mm/sec. Axis control [...].
FlexInspector with line sensor
Preparations for the exhibition are proceeding at a rapid pace. We are now ready for the "line sensor," which was our biggest concern. It is a complete experimental machine level, but we are now ready to use it with ・64bit version of FlexInspector ・WindowsXP ([...])
SmartDragon
We have installed FlexInspector on a Toshiba Terry SmartDragon and confirmed that it works. Thank you Toshiba Terry for your #cooperation. SmartDragon uses Windo as its OS [...].
Example of inspection speed
We have begun production of a simple inspection device (the type in which samples are set by hand for inspection). In this section, we summarize the throughput of the equipment just before shipment. Core2Duo E8300 1.3 megapixel CCD camera (15 fps) x 2 Taking pictures while moving [...].
Semi-automatic visual inspection system
Recently, we have been working on several "manual feed" type inspection systems. The beauty of this type of equipment is that it requires minimal investment and allows verification for automatic visual inspection. Since visual checks can be made on the spot, there is no need for verification (review) [...].
Directly connected to sequencer!
A FUNCTION TO CONNECT WITH KEYENCE'S SEQUENCER KV-5000 VIA LAN HAS BEEN ADDED. THIS FUNCTION ENABLES FULL CONNECTION TO THE SEQUENCER WITH A SINGLE LAN CABLE. NO DIO BOARD IS NEEDED ON THE PC SIDE. THE IMAGE PROCESSING PART AND THE CONTROL PART ARE COMPLETELY [...].
