Machine vision inspection machines, also known as optical image sorting machines, use industrial cameras to convert the targets to be inspected into image signals. Based on pixel distribution and information such as brightness and color, they are converted into digital signals. The image processing system performs various calculations on these signals to extract the features of the targets, such as area, quantity, position, and length. Then, based on preset tolerances and other conditions, the system outputs results, including size, number, pass/fail, presence/absence, etc., to achieve automatic detection and recognition functions.
Nowadays, there are more and more types of machine vision inspection machines, and their functions are becoming more and more powerful. This is because with the development of industrialization, all kinds of imaging devices have been developed, and at this time, there is a need for a machine to inspect the optical performance of imaging devices.
So what are the functions of a machine vision inspection machine? And what benefits can it bring to businesses?
The optical image sorting machine has the following detection functions:
I. Vertical Detection Function
Inspection of opposite sides and corners, inspection of missing parts, concentricity, inspection of inner and outer diameters, inspection of multiple hole diameters, inspection of irregular nuts, inspection of chamfers, inspection of tooth count, inspection of surface indentation, inspection of weld area, inspection of burrs inside holes, inspection of irregular stamped parts, inspection of irregular hardware, inspection of fluid accumulation inside holes, inspection of cross groove plugs, inspection of side cracks, inspection of text and shape in headers, etc.
II. Horizontal Detection Function
Multi-segment width detection, multi-segment height detection, multiple shim/few shim detection, solder joint height detection, etc.
III. Horizontal thread detection function
Bottom shape, thread inner and outer diameter inspection, thread pitch and angle inspection, perpendicularity inspection, thread rolling defects, and thread quality inspection, etc.
IV. Head Detection Function
Needle breakage and groove depth detection, multi-segment width detection, head height detection, step height detection, head outer diameter detection, head thickness detection, head crack detection, etc.
V. Selection Function
Pinhole eccentricity detection, rod length detection, tooth outer diameter detection, tooth root diameter detection, pitch detection, oblique tooth detection, inner hole diameter detection, inner hole impurity detection, weld size and number detection, tooth presence detection, step size detection, tooth damage detection, hole burr detection, and clip detection, etc.
The above is an introduction to the functions of the optical image sorting machine.
Optical image sorting machines can reduce manpower, save labor costs, and significantly reduce human error in inspection, thereby improving work efficiency, enhancing product quality, and strengthening product competitiveness. Furthermore, if optical image sorting systems are applied to production control processes, monitoring product quality on the production line while products are being manufactured can not only reduce raw material waste but also more effectively control production time.
Currently, optical image sorting machines are favored by many companies. Initially, optical sorting machines were mostly used in the hardware industry, but with the continuous advancement of technology, they are now widely used in many industries, such as plastic parts, mobile phone accessories, powder metallurgy, precision hardware, automobiles, and fasteners.
Next, let's take a look at the benefits that machine vision inspection machines can bring to enterprises.
Benefits of machine vision inspection for businesses:
I. High efficiency. The detection speed can reach up to 1200 PCS per minute.
Second, high quality. Replacing manual inspection methods ensures quality and prevents defective products from reaching customers, whereas manual inspection is prone to errors.
Third, order stability. A company can only guarantee quality when it improves efficiency and can meet customer delivery deadlines.
