Which Industries Will Use Machine Vision Technology?

Machine Vsion has a wide range of industrial applications, and its core functions include: measurement, detection, identification, positioning, etc. The industrial chain can be divided into the upstream component market, the midstream system integration/machine equipment market, and the downstream application market. In the upstream of machine vision, there are software and hardware providers such as light sources, lenses, industrial cameras, image acquisition cards, and image processing software. In the midstream, there are providers of integration and complete machine equipment. Printing and packaging, tobacco, agriculture, medicine, textile and transportation and other fields.

The laser processing industry introduces machine vision modules, and the use of machine vision technology can also accurately position the workpiece, which not only saves expensive and heavy fixture costs, improves processing accuracy and ensures quality, but also performs continuous precise operations to speed up work efficiency.

Now machine vision technology is involved in new fields such as automobile manufacturing and laser processing, and has received very good results and praise. In high-precision processing fields such as laser cutting, laser welding, laser marking, and laser micromachining The most common application. Machine vision inspection equipment can quickly and accurately determine the position and direction of the product to be processed, automatically adjust the processing graphics, so as to meet the needs of more automation, etc., which fully demonstrates that the application of machine vision technology is very effective.

Application of machine vision in laser processing industry
01 Laser cutting
Machine vision is used for laser cutting. Guiding the laser for cutting can make the cutting line of the product precise and smooth, and easily cut out any desired shape and size. Laser cutting is used in the automotive industry, semiconductor industry, mold industry, raw material industry, consumer goods manufacturing industry, and aerospace industry. Specific applications include wafer cutting, FPC flexible circuit board cutting, cloth label/leather cutting, auto parts cutting, etc.

02 Laser welding
Laser welding occupies an important position in precision instrument welding with its advantages of no welding pollution and no deformation, and machine vision guidance makes it even more icing on the cake. Specific applications such as automotive body steel plate welding, battery welding, cardiac pacemakers, sealed relays, etc.

03 Laser marking
Laser marking is widely used in various materials and almost all industries. Machine vision-guided positioning can effectively improve production efficiency and ensure Product quality consistency. Specific applications include IC marking, consumer electronics marking, auto parts marking, shoe upper marking, etc.

04 Laser micromachining
Laser micromachining includes fine processing methods such as scribing and resistance adjustment, and human eyes will produce large errors in judgment. Machine vision can clearly locate the processing area and guide the laser to work, with as little error as possible. Specific applications such as laser trimming, thin-film solar cell scribing, etc.

The introduction of machine vision technology in the laser processing industry has effectively improved the accuracy, intelligence and automation performance of laser processing equipment, met the quality requirements of large-scale and large-scale production in modern industries, reduced the generation of defective products, saved costs, and promoted the long-term development of enterprises.

Applications of Machine Vision in the Automotive Industry
Robot vision is an important application of machine vision in today's automotive industry, especially pick and place and material handling applications. Giving robots vision makes them more flexible, allowing them to perform the tasks of multiple "blind" robots, ultimately increasing efficiency.
Machine vision also relies on inspection applications. Machine vision systems can perform component inspections faster and more accurately than human inspectors, and parts can be inspected 24/7. This not only improves efficiency, but also improves product quality.

A third machine vision application is 3D vision for robotic work cells, especially for hazardous tasks such as welding. The vision aims at safer human-robot interactions with robots. The camera detects if a person collides with the robot's workspace and can shut down operations accordingly. This greatly increases the safety of production without limiting efficiency.

Application in injection molding industry
In the injection molding industry, more and more manipulators are used now, but the labor is less and less, and the damage rate of the mold is greatly increasing, so machine vision must be used to achieve product inspection and product blanking After the mold inspection, so as to achieve the purpose of more automation, to achieve the purpose of saving labor.

Applications in the printing industry
In roller printing technology, due to some errors of machinery and motors, the color of the printed product is easy to be misplaced or misplaced. In some high-precision printing occasions, the process requirements cannot be met, so some vision systems are needed to detect color dislocation and misalignment. The measured color deviation is sent to the control mechanism to adjust the running speed of the motor to achieve the purpose of correction.

Its application principle is to first print some detection lines next to the product, obtain image information through a color CCD camera and transmit it to the image processing software. The serial port transmits to the servo system to adjust the motor speed to achieve the purpose of calibration.

Machine vision technology is also widely used in license plate recognition and flow detection in the transportation industry, packaging detection in the pharmaceutical industry, capacity detection and outer packaging detection in the beverage industry, cigarette label detection and packaging material detection in the tobacco industry, assembly detection in the automotive industry, printed matter Surface defect detection, non-woven fabric defect detection online detection, screw detection in the hardware industry, cargo sorting in the transportation industry, fruit sorting in the food industry, welding detection and assembly positioning in the electronics industry, strip steel surface defect detection in the steel industry, Smart meter reading and so on have applications.

With the continuous upgrading of science and technology, at present, the increasingly mature machine vision inspection technology has been widely used in various industries. Not only has the productivity been liberated, the production efficiency has been improved, and the product quality is impeccable. It is favored by people in the industry, and its application will become more and more extensive.
