With the continuous development of industry and the increasing demand for product quality, parts used in various industries must undergo multiple inspections before use to ensure their quality. Due to the mass production of parts, part inspection requires speed and high accuracy.

  With the continuous development of industry and the increasing demand for product quality, parts used in various industries must undergo multiple inspections before use to ensure their quality. Due to the mass production of parts, part inspection requires speed and high precision.
 
  During the production and processing of parts, various types of defects may appear on the surface of the parts due to the materials and processing techniques used, such as cracks, scratches, pinholes, and missing material. These defects will greatly affect the appearance and even the performance of the parts, seriously affecting the performance and potentially leading to safety risks.
Automated visual inspection equipment
 
  Using automated visual inspection equipment to detect surface defects in parts can greatly eliminate the defects of traditional manual and semi-mechanical inspection. At the same time, the relevant process can be remotely controlled via network connection. The automated visual inspection equipment developed and produced by Ruizhi Optoelectronics uses machine vision to replace manual inspection, consisting of light sources, lenses, industrial cameras, image processing software, monitors, and other components. Automated visual inspection is divided into high-precision quantitative inspection (such as the size and position of mechanical parts) and qualitative inspection without measuring devices (such as product appearance, defect detection, etc.).
 
  Advantages of automated visual inspection equipment
 
  Although human vision is best at qualitatively interpreting complex, unstructured scenes, automated visual inspection excels at quantitative measurements of structured scenes due to its speed, accuracy, and repeatability. For example, on a production line, automated visual inspection can inspect hundreds or even thousands of parts per minute. Automated visual inspection, with appropriately resolved cameras and optical components, can easily detect details of objects too small to be seen by the naked eye.
 
  In addition, because automated visual inspection is non-contact, it avoids direct contact between the inspection system and the part being inspected, so automated visual inspection can also prevent damage to the parts and avoid the cost investment of maintenance time and wear and tear of mechanical parts. By reducing human intervention in the manufacturing process, automated visual inspection also brings additional safety and operational advantages. Furthermore, automated visual inspection can prevent contamination of clean rooms by humans and protect workers from hazardous environments.
