Abstract
In manufacturing industry, visual inspection plays a vital role in quality control. Traditionally, this is performed manually, leading to human errors and a time consuming process. There is a major need for a reliable, low cost system which can keep tip with production speed and enhance Quality Assurance. This project involves the development of a low cost automatic visual inspection system for manufacturing industry. The steps to provision of the system are discussed. A program evaluating the performance of the developed system is presented in detail. This work has found that the system is capable of performing many 2D visual inspection tasks in manufacturing industry, at speeds of up to 15 samples per second to within a repeatability of 0.01 mm. The system described is now at the stage of development which is allowing implementation in the Pharmaceutical industries, printing business, cable manufacture and sheet metal shops.© (1989) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
