  1. ProVision Vision System combines visual measurement and automation to enable large-scale production.
  2. The system uses five Dalsa line scan cameras to process an area of up to 21” x 25” with a resolution of 5um/pixel. It can inspect and measure over 60 different electronic components on a PCB board per second.
  3. When the image is first acquired, each camera will first locate a reference point and measure the overall grayscale value of the PCB to facilitate subsequent image binarization and size measurement.

When using traditional automatic optical inspection to detect plastic defects, it is difficult to quantify the defects due to the variety and changing positions of the defects. It is easy to encounter the problem of insufficient defect samples, which makes it difficult to quantify the defects. This leads to insufficient detection accuracy. If manual inspection is maintained, the detection speed is relatively slow and the quality is inconsistent. There are still many difficulties in identification.By using SolVision's Segmentation technology, a defect database is established for the shape and color of rubber product defects, and then AI is used to learn the characteristics of the defects. This can identify defects of various types and positions. With the increase of learning images, the ability of AI visual inspection is continuously optimized, which significantly improves the accuracy of rubber defect identification and effectively solves the problem of unstable detection of rubber product defects.
