Selecting Measurement Processing Item by Measurement Way and Purpose
This section describes how to check the counted number, and verify if there is deformation and stain, etc, using proper methods.
Measure Position
- Positioning of the objects with low contrast
An [ECM Search] is an effective way to position the measured object with low contrast and vague difference in color inside the measured part (ex. LCD substrates, glass substrates, and sheets).
- Measure position of labels
When measuring the deviation or absence of labels of bottles and tins, [Edge Position] is effective.
- Locate robot arms
When measuring the oblique position of measurement objects with the robot arms, [Search] is effective.
- Measure the position of uneven objects
When measuring the oblique position of measurement objects with the robot arms, [Search] is effective.
- Other locating
If the shape and background of measurement objects are fixed, the searched Processing Items, similar to [Search] after pattern registration, is effective.
Measuring Positions (3D)
- Measuring door gaps or level difference
When measuring the gap and level differences of assembled materials, [3D Edge Position] is effective.
- Detecting positions of holes
When measuring the position of elliptical holes on mechanical components, [3D Search] is effective.
- Measuring heights
When measuring the heights of objects, [3D Height] is effective.
Measure Defect and Foreign Materials
- Check the defect, stain and spot of plain measurement objects
When measuring the defects and spots of plain background, [Defect] is effective.
- Scratch , burr
When measuring the scratch and burr of parts, [Defect] is effective.
- Measurement other than minor scratch, stain and plain background
When measuring minor defect and stain of labels, etc, [Fine Matching] is effective.
Count
- Measurement of the number of PIN
When calculating number of pins of ICs and connectors, [Edge Pitch] is effective.
Measure Size
- Measure width of objects
When measuring width of objects, [Edge Position] is effective.
- Measure dimensions of finished products
When measuring dimensions of finished products, combine [Edge Position] and [Expression].
Use [Edge Position] to measure position, and [Expression] to calculate the spacing of positions and then the dimensions.
- Measure dimensions of circle and oblique parts
When measuring the dimensions of circle work pieces and oblique objects, [Edge Position] is effective.
Use this Processing Item to measure position, [Expression] to calculate the spacing of positions and then the dimensions.
Measure Folding of Paper and Sheet
- Measure folding of plain objects
When measuring the folding of plain work pieces, [Defect] is effective.
Measure Interior/Exterior and Orientation
- Measure interior/exterior and orientation according to the presence of markings
When measuring orientation according to the presence of markings on objects, [Search] is effective.
- When the size and position of markings are not even
For this case, [Flexible Search] is effective.
- When the marking shall be measurement accurately
When there are decorations on background of markings, or complex shapes, or the markings shall be measurement accurately, [Fine Matching] is effective.
Measure Mixing of Variants
- Measure mixing of variants into uneven measurement objects
When measuring if the markings and uneven variants are mixed, [Flexible Search] is effective.
- Measure the mixing of variants with plain background
When measuring the mixing of variants of complete equipments with plain background, [Search] is effective.
- When mixing of variants shall be measurement accurately
When mixing of variants other than nameplates and plain background shall be measurement accurately, [Fine Matching] is effective.
Measure Deformation
- Deformation measurement for measurement objects with many OK shapes
When measuring the deformation of objects with many OK shapes, [Flexible Search] is effective.
- When measuring the shape more strictly
When measuring the shape of work pieces with high precision, [Fine Matching] is effective.
Inspecting Characters
- Inspecting date
When inspecting character strings such as production date etc, [Date Verification] is effective. The date can be set automatically for verification.
- Inspecting character strings
When inspecting arbitrary character strings, [Character Inspection] is effective.
- Register character strings
When inspecting character strings with [Date Verification] or [Character Inspection], the target character strings must be registered in [Model Dictionary].
