MACHINE VISION SYSTEMS - DEEP LEARNING

ICS has extensive experience in the design and implementation of machine vision systems. Machine vision systems are a field of technology that encompasses all 2D and 3D imaging, image processing, and analysis technologies to perform the following operations:

– Checking the presence or absence of a specific element or group of elements.
– Performing quality inspections, e.g., for assembly integrity or surface defects.
– Guidance/positioning, e.g., of a robot arm.
– Recognition/verification of alphanumeric characters (OCR/OCV).
– Reading codes, e.g., 1D barcodes and 2D Data Matrix.
– Performing precise optical measurements.

ICS has many years of experience in the design and implementation of machine vision systems.Machine vision systems are a field of technology that includes all 2D and 3D imaging, image processingand analysis technologies to perform the following operations:

  • Checking the presence, absence of a specific component or group of components.
  • Perform quality inspection e.g. completeness of assembly, surface defects.-Guiding/positioning, e.g., a robotic arm.
  • Recognize/verify OCR/OCV alphanumeric characters.-Reading codes, e.g. 1D-barcode, 2D Data Matrix.
  • Performing precise measurements by optical method

 

A common approach to vision system applications is to provide a turnkey solution, i.e. completesystems that can be quickly and easily configured and integrated into a production line or machine.Vision systems are typically built from components such as optics (lenses), illuminators, cameras andsoftware. When designing and building a vision system, it is important to find the right balancebetween systemperformance and cost to achieve the best and desired result.

Deep Learning is a machine learning technique applied to vision systems that learns from trainingimages provided by the user and generates solutions for a wide range of image analysisapplications.Typical applications of Deep Learning in vision systems include:-detecting surface and shape defects.-identification of objects or images with respect to predefined classes.-localization, segmentation and classification of multiple objects within an image.-product quality analysis.-localization and classification of objects.-optical character recognition.

2D VISION SYSTEMS

Cameras used in vision systems can be divided into two groups: area-scanning cameras (also calledarray cameras) and line-scanning cameras. The former is simpler and less technically demanding, whilethe latter is preferred in situations where array cameras are not suitable, for example, for scanninglarge areas, tapes that are in motion. Scanning cameras capture 2D images using a specific number ofactive elements (pixels), while line-scanning cameras are characterized by a single array of pixels.

3D VISION SYSTEMS - LASER TRIANGULATION

Laser triangulation is a machine vision technique used to capture 3Dmeasurements by combininga laser light source with a camera. The laser beam and camera are aimed at the inspection target;however, by using a known angular offset (α) between the laser source and camera sensor, it is possibleto measure depth differencesusing trigonometry.

TRACEABILITY/FLOW CONTROL PRODUCTION CONTROL SYSTEMS

We are experienced in designing, programming and implementing quality control software.Our offerings include TRACEABILITY/FLOW CONTROL SYSTEMS type applications. Systems of this typeprovide communication between a database and production machines to archive production data andblock defective products so that they cannot be passed on to further production processes. Thiscommunication can be accomplished using company communicationnetworks, machine-specificcommunication protocols or using OPC (OLE for Process Control) technology.

The term “TRACEABILITY” means “traceability and origin.” It can also be translated as“traceability.” It refers to the completeness of information abouta product and each of its productionstages. A commonly accepted definition is that traceability is the ability to chronologically link uniquelyidentifiable units (parts, products) together in a verifiable manner. In other words, traceability is theability to verify the history of a product, its location through documented identification.

Currently, TRACEABILITY systems are generally dedicated systems. This is because it is difficultto develop and apply universal systems in such cases, which are characterized by very individualrequirements of data integration and functionality. Dedicated systems not only best solve the most important problems, but are also optimal in terms of implementation time and cost. Themanufacturing database created by these systems can be used by MES (Manufacturing ExecutionSystem) or ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems.

In particular, the TRACEABILITY system allows:

  • communication with production equipment,
  • displaying the status of component manufacturing operations at production stations,
  • recording information about manufactured components into a database,
  • blocking for further assembly of components if previous manufacturing operations were incorrect or there was a repetition of the component identification label,
  • editing data for product types that appear on labels applied to the product,
  • printing product identification labels,
  • assigning different print formats of identification labels to the product type,
  • database querying, viewing and saving reports on manufactured components in theform of a file readable by, for example, MS Excel,
  • extensive system configuration (including communication ports, working shift pattern, production slot data) with the ability to enable and disable blocking of defective components,
  • viewing system events in the system log,
  • registration and deletion of authorized system users,
  • protection of access to the system by password or hardware access key,
  • operation in touch mode with a virtual keyboard.

INSPECTION MACHINES, MEASURING MACHINES AND MARKING MACHINES

ICS has experience in the design and manufacture of quality inspection, measuring and markingmachines and equipment.

We use machine vision systems and precision measuring instruments for product quality inspection. We build machines based on precision telecentric optics and laser measurement technology. 

Depending on application needs, we design machines and devices for:

  • measurement of geometrical features (length, width, height, diameter, angle, etc.),
  • mechanical parameters (measurement of force, torque),
  • vibration/noise level measurements,
  • measurements of electrical parameters (voltage, current, resistance),
  • surface quality analyses,
  • assembly completeness analyses,
  • quality analyses of 1D and 2D codes,
  • and many others.

We build machine control systems based on industrial computers and real-time operatingsystems and PLCs according to customer requirements.

We use both mechanical (impact) marking/engraving and laser marking/engraving in themachines we build.
