Problem:

It is very difficult to achieve zero defects in a labor intensive assembly process with manual inspection. Over the long run 100% inspection proves to be only about 80% effective. Low volume labor intensive operations are difficult to justify automation solutions. This problem points toward a relatively inexpensive vision inspection system.

Solution:

Implement an inspection system using the DVT 515 camera series. Using the defect history, images are recorded of known rejects and stored in the camera. Known good images are also stored. An operator PC interface lets the operator know the status of the part. An operator interface informs the operator what is wrong with the reject part and allows him to rework and inspect again. Multiple parts programs can be stored or loaded into the camera

We use smart cameras because of their decoding speed, large field of view and depth of field, and inspection tools. This camera has integrated Ethernet and the trigger is instantaneous. The break out module with the DIN rail mount makes discrete I/O much easier to integrate.
