High speed vision inspection

High Speed 100% Inspection
DIVERSE has developed a set of analysis algorithms (VA-CAS) which can analyse vision data at a rate which is a fraction of the image frame time. This allows us to use standard PCs to undertake vision analysis which previously would have required a dedicated image processor computer. We have used this technology for high speed vision analysis equipment for the glass container industry for several years. Our Check-in-thread and Check-under-ring equipment has gained broad acceptance in the glass industry.

Low Speed 100% Inspection
DIVERSE has suplied systems for analysing the performance of laser diode semiconductors. These tiny chips, typically only a few hundred microns wide, can also be inspected for failures to meet other criteria such as surface finish, cut straightness and blemishes. DIVERSE has built a system to acquire these high magnification images and analyse for quality problems.

Dynamic systems
Production systems can be very difficult to adjust, particularly where the adjustment involves parts which move dynamically, or the changes caused by the adjustment process effects more than one output. Typical of this type of system are ink jet printers for which DIVERSE has built system analysers based on vision analysis.

Line Scan
Certain systems, particularly those with a constant motion transport or material feed, lend theselves to image analysis using a line scan camera. These systems have the advantage of fast acquisition and short analysis time. Our experience in these includes medical assay strips, banknotes, film mastering and vehicle wheel alignment sensors.
