| | | DIMENSIONCONTROL, series DIMENSIONCONTROL Series 8205 is an automatic and versatile system for the inspection of different sintered parts, followed by sorting into passed and failed parts. The following features are monitored: - Batch from which the part originated - Damage on the face sides - Damage on flange surfaces, shoulders, etc. - Foreign bodies in holes - Parts sintered together - Geometrical deviations Measurement technique: Essentially, two measurement principles are employed with DIMENSIONCONTROL: a laser-based optical manufacturers of micrometer and an image processing system with three industrial cameras. The non-contact measurement technique enables rapid and reliable inspection. In the first step the height of all parts is checked by the laser micrometer to prevent parts being supplied that do not belong to the batch. Then the camera stations detect two previously defined principal features of a defect. Firstly, geometrical changes in the shape of the inspected part are detected. Secondly, surface defects are detected. Here, the system differentiates between the required surface structures (e.g. recesses) and unwanted faults (e.g. scratches, bulges or notches). The laser micrometer supplies a measurement accuracy of 0.05 mm, whereas the defect size is defined in the image processing system to 8x8 pixels, which, taking the replication scale into account, corresponds to 0.3 x 0.3 mm. | | |
