google automatic driving withdrawal
Google, the world's earliest company to start self-driving cars, seems to have pulled out of their development. If you go to Google searchand type in "google auto" you will find several related news items. As we have been saying for some time, the image [...].
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 [...].
Noise Suppression 3
By using an oscilloscope and looking at what kind of waveform it is, the cause of the noise can be identified. Waveform of the camera Reference video If you see a waveform like 60 Hz AC, it may be due to the operating inverter or servo motor [...].
Noise Suppression 2
Our company originally started out mainly as a developer of image processing software. As we accumulated expertise in the field, we now provide support for visual inspection equipment as well as for reliable operation. For this reason, we have developed software, electrical controls, mechanical systems [...].
Noise Suppression 1
The software may suddenly shut down, the camera may shut down at an unbelievable timing, or the operation may become unstable. This may be due to electrical noise (extra signals). For example, if the workpiece is large [...].
Robotic automation bottleneck
As you can see from the news in the media, the introduction of robots in the production process is accelerating. The government is also encouraging the introduction of robots through subsidies and grants. So, how is the automation of visual inspection using robots progressing? The following article is based on our [...].
Are large objects unsuitable for automatic visual inspection?
WE RECOMMEND THE PING-PONG METHOD, IN WHICH THE WORKPIECE IS MANUALLY SUPPLIED AND DISCHARGED BY HAND, AND ONLY THE INSPECTION PART IS PERFORMED BY A CAMERA OR PC. THE HANDLING IS DONE BY A PERSON, WHICH MEANS THAT LARGE WORKPIECES WITH LARGE VOLUME OR HEAVY WEIGHT CAN BE EASILY MOVED BY HAND....
Ping-pong method About multi-sided inspection
THE STANDARD SPECIFICATION OF THE PING-PONG METHOD IS 1-SIDED INSPECTION. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT MULTI-SIDED INSPECTION. NEVERTHELESS, THERE IS A NEED TO INSPECT MULTIPLE SIDES. IN THIS CASE, A POSSIBLE OPERATION METHOD WOULD BE TO CONTINUE INSPECTING ONLY SIDE A, THEN SWITCH THE TYPE AND INSPECT ONLY SIDE B [...].
