In-kind evaluation by end-users themselves
I have been telling you the same thing for the past 10 years. In January 2008, I wrote in my blog that the only way to make the automated visual inspection business work is for the end user to evaluate the actual product themselves. This is how [...].
For those considering automation of visual inspection
Many people are interested in automating visual inspections, and many believe that introducing such a system would certainly improve efficiency. If you search for "visual inspection" on the Internet at search, you will find many manufacturers of visual inspection equipment. They are all very easy to [...]...
work distance
Many users want to inspect a wide variety of workpieces with a single inspection system. However, as the height of the workpiece changes, the workpiece distance changes, causing problems such as loss of focus and resolution [...].
Top and side inspection with one camera Part 5
WE BORROWED AND TESTED THE PCCD012, A 360° SPECIAL OPTICS PCCD SERIES FROM OPTOART (OPTO ENGINEERING). COMPARED TO THE COMPANY'S PERECENTRIC LENSES THAT WE HAD PREVIOUSLY BORROWED, THE PCCD012 IS COMPACT AND HAS A WORK DISTANCE OF [...].
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 [...].
AREAS WHERE FIS-100 EXCELS
WHEN CONSIDERING VISUAL INSPECTION, THE APPROPRIATE INSPECTION METHOD DEPENDS ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PRODUCT. WHEN TAKING "STABLE OR UNSTABLE" ON THE VERTICAL AXIS AND "SIMPLE OR COMPLEX" ON THE HORIZONTAL AXIS, THE AREA IN WHICH FIS-100 EXCELS IS THE LIGHT BLUE AREA IN THE FIGURE. THE AREA WHERE FIS-100 EXCELS IS THE LIGHT BLUE AREA IN THE FIGURE. [...].
Ping-pong Method × Robot × Special lighting (for unevenness detection) Movie uploaded!
We have uploaded a video of our exhibit at the recent Image Sensing Expo 2017. Reference Video Using this special illumination, the detection of minute irregularities on the surface of a glossy object to be inspected can be done by changing the pattern of the point light source reflected on the object to determine if it is a good [...].
Automatic phase alignment full circumference inspection Video uploaded.
The ping-pong method is a low-cost, automated method in which a human operator performs the supply and discharge while the inspection is performed reliably. Basically, the ping-pong method is focused on one side only and achieves 2 to 4 times faster inspections. If you want to inspect the side [...]...
Seminar: "Why Doesn't Automation of Visual Inspection Work?" was held.
Held in conjunction with the Image Sensing Expo 2017, the seminar was attended by 276 people. In fact, the capacity of the venue was not sufficient and less than 80 people were unable to attend the seminar. To be honest, we did not expect the response to be so positive. I am not sure if you can imagine the [...]...
