Example Applications
Deep Learning for Retaining Clip Installation
Deep Learning for Retaining Clip Installation. where the Customer was looking for correct installation of the retaining clip. There are many OK angle/positions possible, as long as clip is fully inserted. By Training the Smart Camera on Good and Bad Pictures, the SC3000 series or higher can determine if the clip has been installed correctly.
Cable Harness Inspection using AI
As the cable harness is fabricated and the connector is crimped on by the customer's machine, a MV-SC3016C is able to detect when there are wires that are not fully inserted into the harness. This was trained using the Defect Detection AI Training, where up to 20 good and 20 bad pictures can be taken to provide the AI model training.
Presence/Absence of O-Ring
Simple Color or Contrast measurement can be performed with the cost effective MV-SC2016, and can easily be set up to to count the number of pixels match a color in the desired region of interest ROI.
Angle Verification for Electronics Installation
Verification of the installation angle of a connector onto a PCB board. If it is not installed correctly, the whole board assembly will not fit into the housing. By using the Line to Line Angle Tool, the Angle can be detected from two surfaces and held between high and low limits for simple evaluation to an accuracy of 0.1 degrees or better.
Thread Detection
In this application, we can use Pattern Recognition to identify the Thread patterns and the Smart Camera will automatically detect any threaded holes that are within the field of view. The picture below shows the two threaded holes in the orange detection area.
Porosity Defect Detection
The part below is being checked for porosity, and the camera detects any minor porosity. This is exceptionally challenging when the surface is not machined or uniform. However, the Spot or Blob detection feature can easily be implemented by identifying the area of interest and choosing the right tolerance for the allowable size of spot.
Needle Sharpness Inspection
After a surgical needle is precision crafted, it gets handled in other processes before packaging. With 25 MP and telecentric magnifying lenses, deformities that occur can be clearly seen and held to micron level tolerances. A final check on sharpness is made using simple line searches and setting a tight limit on maximum allowable deviation from a best fit line.
OCR On Door Checker Assembly
The door checker assembly needs to be verified for proper orientation before the pin
insertion or else the whole part is scrap. Challenge is letters are extremely small and camera needs to be mounted far away in
existing machine. By Using 20 MP camera with appropriate lens and OCR function with AI capability, the
smart camera can provide feedback for the correct assembly to the PLC.
Weld Inspection
When checking for weld inspection, there are two levels of evaluation approaches. Simple Color or contrast measurement for simple detection of presence/absence of the weld. However, if there is varying types of weld qualities that can be are acceptable and some interpretation is necessary, there is Deep Learning Defect Detection where good and bad pictures are taught to the vision system.
OCR with Poor Print Quality
Many camera systems struggle when the printing is inconsistent. It is especially difficult to read when when its lighter printing. Using SC3016 (1.6 MP) with polarized lens and OCR, proper poka-yoke was implemented.
