Progress of line sensors
Since the end of last year, we have been developing a new FlexInspector that uses line sensors. However, to be honest, we are struggling with many things. One of the major ones is that applying FI's algorithm to the huge images of line sensors is a tremendous [...].
line sensor
We are steadily preparing the line sensor. In fact, this is a return match from about two years ago. I had too little knowledge and experience back then. And hardware environment. Now I know what to do. Including its logic. First of all, free run [...].
appropriate result
We have had users from a variety of industries evaluate FlexInspector. Many of them said, "It was easy to set up compared to other companies' products, so I was able to evaluate it thoroughly. It also has the best detection capabilities of any product we know of. This is the best detection capability that we know of.
THE POWER OF COAXIAL DOME LIGHTING OVDU-C120W
A USER IN KYOTO CITY RECENTLY CONTACTED US TO SEE IF WE COULD DO SOMETHING MORE ABOUT THIS. ON AN EXPERIMENTAL LEVEL, WE WERE ABLE TO ALMOST COMPLETELY ELIMINATE ROLLING STREAKS ON THE METAL SURFACE BY USING THE OVDU-C120W COAXIAL DOME LIGHTING, WHICH WE FREQUENTLY USE IN OUR EXPERIMENTS [...].
Next Stage
Thanks to this, our business model of selling only inspection software for visual inspection equipment has begun to come full circle. With conventional visual inspection equipment, it is common for the inspection software to be unique for each object. Basically, "We make it to the customer's specifications" [...].
Examples of operating conditions
A user in Kyoto City informed us that defects were leaking out and we went to review the settings. The situation was that the user had set the settings to "not see black defects and darken the lighting" in order to force the yield to be maintained, which resulted in white defects not being removed [...].
5-megapixel camera
With the cooperation of Takenaka System Equipment, we confirmed the connection of a 5-megapixel camera FC5100CL. Currently, this camera is the largest pixel area camera available at FI. We tried to inspect ultra-fine patterns (several micrometers) with this camera and [...].
Analog camera cables prone to breakage
We received the equipment from the system manufacturer for investigation of an "operation abnormality. We checked the system with our equipment, and found that a time-out error occurs after a while during continuous image capturing. When the camera is shaken, the image is abnormally distorted. [...].
TOSHIBA TELI CSB4000F
This camera is a CMOS 4-megapixel (2000 x 2000) camera with an IEEE1394 connection. The large 12 x 12 mm image pickup surface makes many 1/2-inch (6.4 x 4.8 mm) CCD-compatible lenses unusable. [...].
ARGO IEEE1394 CAMERA
I tried to use HALCON's 1) DirectShow interface or 2) 1394IIDC interface for Argo's IEEE1394 camera, but I could not find a way to use the 1394IIDC interface.
