MACHINE VISION

Machine vision and industrial cameras represent quite a new branch on the field of production line automation and become very popular especially because of that fact, that it brings a substantial time savings in company production costs. A quality check is the most frequent way of usage of industrial cameras, where ever the perfect product quality is a must. Thus  both the number of reclamations is being restrained dramatically and a customer's confidence is being increased substantially. Some of our references can serve as an evidence of this modern tendency.

Most of today's produced cameras are equipped with an own processor and DO signals. So in case of not complicated applications, there is no need to use PC. This type of camera is also called a"smart" camera". There is a big variability in using an advisible type of camera and its output power and the way of connectivity depend on concrete reqiurements of application For very demadning applications, a connection of a camera and PC is necessary.

One of the main parameters, that directly influence mainly an accuracy of meassuring  is a camera resolution. It can be from 640x480 to 1600x1200 pixels. the standard resolution used is 1024x768 which is a cost-effective compromise between price and output power. The last newie used in industry is a 3-D camera, which is able to process a 3-D product profile. The usage of that is in a special application, where it's hard to diferentiate individual product parts by contract or colour, or when it's necessary to know  the stereometric dimensions (e.g. for a volume meassuring).

Meassuring 

Meassuring of specific product dimensions, e.g. hole spacing, hole diameter, meassuring of volume and surface.

Product check 

Correct position verification of all product parts, e.g. the right screw placing, the right position of stickers etc.

Product identification 

Bar code and 2-D code reading. location of a product presence, recognition of a product kind based on its shape, size and other characteristics.

Navigation of robot 

Product location on a conveyor, exact positioning and next generation of corresponding coordinates for robot which is able to carry on paletization, depaletization and other activities based on them in accordance with the kind of application. It seems to be very effective to apply robot in this way in numerous industrial branches.

Provided you are interested in camera systems and you are thinking of their usage in your production, don't hasitate to contact us. A simple implementation of the camera system into your existing production line can improve the product quality in a very short time...
