Here is a demonstration of high-speed image inspection for cylindrical and cylinder parts.
In this demonstration, a cylindrical part is synchronized with signals from an encoder while rotating. Continuous images are captured with a horizontal resolution of several pixels and a vertical resolution of 2000 pixels. These images are then stitched together to create a continuous image of the entire circumference, similar to an open scroll, and are used to inspect for scratches, dents, foreign particles, dirt.
▲ Example of inspection results: An image of the entire circumference is generated from 195 partial images, allowing for the detection of outer and inner surface scratches in their actual proportions, without distortion.
The exterior (outer circumference) of the part is simultaneously captured from two angles using mirrors, allowing for a full circumference inspection with only half a rotation, thereby reducing inspection time compared to conventional methods.
The interior of the part is inspected using ViSCO's ultra-depth camera (super-focus camera), which captures images from an angled perspective.
Many customers in Thailand manufacture cylindrical metal parts such as pipes, and significant manpower is typically required for inspecting these parts. This solution helps reduce labor and time in the inspection process.
ViSCO will propose the most suitable inspection methods and equipment based on the customer's workpiece and facility environment.
