Inexpensive experimental environment

MY THEORY IS THAT THE SECRET TO SUCCESS IN "IMAGING" IS TO TRY IT YOURSELF, BUT IN REALITY, SETTING UP THE CAMERA AND PREPARING THE ILLUMINATOR CAN BE QUITE A CHALLENGE. I AM LOOKING FOR A GOOD INEXPENSIVE ENVIRONMENT, AND I FOUND A GOOD ONE. WITH A COPY STAND FROM LPL CORPORATION [...].

Fear of preconceived notions

Today, we received a report from a Sangen representative on the Mechanical Components & Materials Technology Expo. As usual, there were many people who said, "I've never seen such a method before. The interesting thing about FlexInspector's inspection method is that "the logic is so simple [...].

Review of inspection facilities

Recently, we have been receiving requests from customers asking if we can consult with them to review their inspection equipment. It is true that most of the people we talk to at exhibitions and other events say that they are not working. Those that are "working" the most are [...].

Ask the "field."

It is said that "the illuminator is the deciding factor," but I think it is the visual inspectors on site who know best how to make it easier to see. They probably have considerable know-how. If it is easy to see with the eyes, it is easy to see with a camera. The difference is that ・ [...].

According to the organizer's announcement, this year's Sensing & Imaging Expo was lower than the previous one. Although the economic recovery may have meant that business was so busy that there was no time to visit the exhibition, I think the main reasons were the "lack of appeal of the exhibition" and the "stagnation of the industry".

I'm trying to get to the bottom of this...

We have managed to get the new catalog submitted, the exhibition panels submitted, and the exhibition equipment adjusted. The same old "pick-me-up overnight" disposition is still in place. This time, I have one more big task ... a seminar for exhibiting companies. I have a lot of things to talk about, but I'm not sure how much I'll be able to talk about them.

FlexInspector Possibilities

(1) SINCE VARIOUS ITEMS CAN BE INSPECTED USING THE SAME APPROACH, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF UNIFYING THE OPERATION OF IMAGE INSPECTION EQUIPMENT IN A FACTORY. (2) BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY EASY TO SET UP, AND BECAUSE IT IS POSSIBLE TO MARK AS OK ONLY THOSE ITEMS THAT ARE THE SAME AS GOOD ITEMS AND MARK THOSE THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM GOOD ITEMS, THE INSPECTION WORK ITSELF [...].

Principles of Imaging Inspection

For a long time, I have thought that there are many problems with "automatic XX correction" in image inspection. Now that I think about it again, the only information available in image inspection is the "image," and the correction should be applied to the "image" whether it is "caused by the imaging environment" or "caused by the inspection target" [...].
