The seriousness of the image shop!
In this issue of the FlexInspector-ROBO catalog, we have used the phrase "the seriousness of the image shop". We put various meanings and thoughts into this word. We will unveil it at this exhibition, and we hope that many people will see and feel [...].
Just before the 2014 Kansai Mechanical Components & Materials Technology Expo
The Kansai Mechanical Components and Materials Technology Expo is approaching. We have exhibited at the Image Sensing Expo and the International Technical Exhibition on Image Technology and Equipment in Yokohama, but from this year, we have changed our policy to exhibit at exhibitions that are more likely to be visited by people in the field. Accordingly, we have changed our exhibits to "Yo [...]...
FlexInspector-ROBO was featured in Metal Industry Newspaper
An article on our FlexInspector-ROBO was featured in a special feature on the Kansai Mechanical Components & Materials Technology Expo in the September 15, 2014 issue of Kinzoku Sangyo Shimbun.
We will exhibit at 2014 Kansai Mechanical Components & Materials Technology Expo
We will be exhibiting FlexInspector-ROBO at the Kansai Mechanical Components & Materials Technology Expo to be held at INTEX Osaka from September 24 to 26. We are currently working on the adjustments in-house, but this is a must-see. To be honest, it is interesting to see! Various [...].
Combination with multi-axis robot
We are currently developing a device called "FlexInspector-ROBO" that combines our FIS-100 automatic visual sensor and NACHI's MZ07 robot. It is already working well, but what I see when I look at it is that it is an automatic visual inspection [...].
Inspect all surfaces
Why are defective products leaked even though all products are inspected by the image processing system? The image processing system only judges the pre-defined points on the image captured by the camera. In visual inspection, we look at the product from various angles before we pick it up. And the whole surface is inspected unconsciously [...].
What should be detected by visual inspection
What should be detected by visual inspection? Are they minute defects that only a skilled inspector can see? Are they defects that "somehow seem" to be visible? What really needs to be detected are defects related to functionality, defects that can lead directly to complaints, and defects that are not directly related to the product's functionality.
Inspection of three-dimensional objects
We are currently working on a project that requires 1) 7 cameras to capture images from multiple directions, 2) each camera has 3~4 different lighting conditions to be switched, 3) as a result, more than 20 imaging inspections, and 4) 1.3 megapixel cameras at 30 fps. This is a fairly large [...].
The same thing over and over again.
Through trade shows and other events, I often speak with people in charge of various industries, and it seems that quite a lot of them are having a hard time. Unless it is a very large company, only a few people in the production engineering department are in charge of image inspection. The "production engineering [...].
LAN CONNECTION WITH PLC
THE AUTOMATIC APPEARANCE SENSOR FIS HAS A MECHANISM THAT CAN BE USED IN VARIOUS FORMS OF SYSTEMS WITH ONLY A FEW SETTINGS. 1) ANY TYPE AND NUMBER OF CAMERAS 2) VARIABLE ALLOCATION OF INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNALS TO BE CONNECTED TO EXTERNAL CONTROLS 3) DIMMING POWER CONTROL FOR VARIOUS ILLUMINATOR MANUFACTURERS IS POSSIBLE 4) [...].
