Visual inspection of miniaturized components with artificial vision systems and compact LED illuminators

Detection of defects and dimensional characteristics on small details using artificial vision systems and image processing algorithms
Use of compact LED illuminators with continuous or pulsed operating mode.
Real-time detection of the presence of defective parts or parts with aesthetic characteristics that do not comply with the production specifications.
Applications on rotary tables, carpets for continuous transport, automatic assembly machines and test benches.
The miniaturization of industrial components and the high reliability of production processes require ever more efficient, compact and flexible quality control and selection systems.
Camera-based machine vision, artificial intelligence and intelligent image processing algorithms enable real-time determination of aesthetic, functional or dimensional characteristics industrial components that once assembled make up more complex apparatuses.
The new compact LED illuminators of the DC3M series allow the design of compact vision systems based on industrial cameras. The DC3M series illuminators are designed for integration into industrial division systems and optical test benches where compactness of the light source, high brightness of the light beam and concentration of light in a precise point of observation of the component are required.
Typical applications are high-speed control on rotary tables, robot guidance, analysis of small parts such as electrical connectors, electronic components, miniature gears, small parts, fasteners and assembly elements.
