Wire Filter Slot Gaps Inspection Machine 5. Structure and operating principle 5.1. Structure The machine contains a frame (1) installed along the filter. The frame carries the linear motion system (2). An industrial camera (4) with LED illumination is installed on the carriage (3) of the linear motion system. In the extreme position of the carriage (outside the controlled filter), the calibration template (5) is installed. The machine is powered and controlled via a central computer using specialized software. Figure 2 - Block diagram and general view of the system 5.2. Overall and mounting dimensions...

Wire Filter Slot Gaps Inspection Machine 5.3. Operating principle The machine is installed along the filter. The industrial camera is placed in such a way that its field of view is located in the diametrical section of the filter. The camera moves along the filter and captures the image of its surface. Before scanning the filter, the system is auto-calibrated by measuring the built-in template. The software analyzes the received image and calculates the dimensions of the gaps. The process is repeated for different positions of the filter as it gradually rotates around the axis. Data from the...

Wire Filter Slot Gaps Inspection Machine 7. Software 7.1. Main window After turning on the power of the system, the main program window will appear on the screen of the central computer: In the left part of the window there are menu buttons for selecting operating modes and configuring system settings. In the central part there is a window for displaying the results.The results are displayed depending on the selected mode graphs, tables, camera images, etc. In the right part of the window there are buttons for controlling the motor of the linear motion system and the scanning process.

Wire Filter Slot Gaps Inspection Machine 7.2.1. "Gap size graph" panel This panel is designed for graphical display and control of measurement results. Displays the measured width of the wire filter gaps. If the width is within the tolerances, the points on the graph are displayed in green, otherwise they are in red. Upper tolerance line Displays the upper tolerance value as a horizontal line. Lower tolerance line Displays the lower tolerance value as a horizontal line. Total length The total length of the wire filter in meters. 7.2.2. "Focus graph" panel This panel displays a parameter that...

Wire Filter Slot Gaps Inspection Machine Focus value graph This parameter characterizes the quality of focus. Nominal focus level The level is estimated automatically and affects the amount of focus correction that can be enabled in the settings. Mean focus value Displays the mean focus value. 7.2.3. "Information" panel This panel displays the measured width of the wire filter gaps, product type, and operator's name. Settings can be changed in the Settings menu (see Main window). 7.2.4. "Current item" panel This panel displays the serial number of the measured product under which it will be stored...

Wire Filter Slot Gaps Inspection Machine 7.2.6. "Motor control" panel The buttons are intended to control the movement of the motor of the linear motion system. 7.3. "Archive" section The "Archive" section is intended for displaying and editing measurement results, as well as filtering and displaying the results by date, product type, operator's name and serial number of the product.
