An optical component is an apparatus that automatically receives and processes an image of a real object through an high precision optical waveplate and a contactless sensor to obtain desired information or a device for controlling the motion of the robot.
Machine vision system is to use the machine instead of the human eye to make measurements and judgments. Essentially, machine vision is the application of image analysis technology in factory automation, using optical systems, industrial digital cameras and image processing tools to simulate human visual capabilities and make corresponding decisions by directing a particular device. Perform these decisions.
In the modern automated production process, optical waveplate manufacturer have begun to slowly replace artificial vision, especially in the field of condition detection, finished product inspection, quality control, etc., with the application of the industry 4.0 era, this trend is irreversible.
Why use optical components instead of artificial vision for a number of reasons, the following are the main points:
1. From the perspective of production efficiency, since the operator is prone to fatigue under long-term work, the artificial visual quality is inefficient and the precision is not high, and the optical component can greatly improve the production efficiency and automation.
2. From the perspective of cost control, training a qualified operator requires enterprise managers to spend a lot of manpower and material resources. However, pure training is far from enough. It takes a lot of time to follow up, so that the level of operators is in practice. Was improved. As long as the optical components are designed, debugged and operated properly, they can be used continuously for a long period of time while ensuring production results.
3. In some special industrial environments, the detection of working conditions, such as welding and gunpowder manufacturing, artificial vision may pose a threat to the personal safety of operators, and machine vision effectively avoids these risks to some extent.
What areas does automated optics cover?
An optical component is composed of different functional modules, and a successful optical component is designed, which is very demanding for engineers.
In general, the areas of expertise covered by optical components are as follows:
1. Electrical Engineering: Designed for hardware and software in optical components.
2. Engineering Mathematics: The foundation of image processing technology.
3. Physics: The basis for the design of the lighting system.
4. Mechanical Engineering: Wide application of VUV grade LiF optics. Good optics can better provide more technical support for the manufacturing industry to improve product quality and productivity.
Principles of automated optics
Through the optical system, the object to be photographed is converted into an image signal, and then the image signal is transmitted to the image acquisition card, and converted into a digital signal according to information such as pixel distribution, brightness, color, and the like.
The image processing unit performs an effective operation on the digital signals and obtains feature values ​​of the photographic subject, thereby directing the device to perform corresponding actions according to the result of the discrimination.
