How machine vision systems work
Machine vision hardware mainly includes two parts: image acquisition and vision processing, and image acquisition is composed of lighting systems, vision sensors, analog-to-digital converters, and frame memory. Robot vision uses vision sensors to obtain a two-dimensional image of the environment, analyze and interpret it through a vision processor, and then convert it into symbols, allowing the robot to recognize objects and determine their position.
The application of machine vision system has three major functions
1. Visual inspection: detect whether there are quality problems in the products on the production line, and this link is also the link that replaces the most labor. For example, semiconductor wafer inspection in the electronics industry, surface scratch inspection in the manufacturing industry, panel printing quality inspection in the automotive industry, color difference detection in the printing industry, pharmaceutical bottle packaging defect detection in the medical industry, and appearance packaging inspection in the food industry.
2. Visual recognition: Recognition uses machine vision positioning to process, analyze and understand images to identify targets and objects in various patterns. It can achieve data traceability and collection, and is widely used in auto parts, food, medicine and other fields. For example, material distribution, sorting, barcode scanning in industrial production processes and express sorting in the logistics industry.
3. Visual positioning: Positioning visual positioning requires the machine vision system to be able to quickly and accurately find the measured parts and confirm their position, and use machine vision to locate the loading and unloading, and guide the mechanical arm to grasp accurately. For example, in the field of semiconductor packaging, the device needs to adjust the pickup head according to the chip position information obtained by machine vision, accurately pick up the chip and bind it.
Benefits of machine vision systems
In the process of intelligent manufacturing production, the detection of products is more efficient than manual detection, better accuracy and stability, with digital management, information integration functions, to avoid artificial secondary pollution, to avoid direct contact with the product, can be detected in harsh environments, and the long-term use cost is lower. It has been widely used in industry, agriculture, transportation, medicine and other industries, and can be said to have penetrated into all aspects of our life, production and work.
