Industrial automation refers to machinery and equipment or production process, management process, without the direct participation of people, through automatic detection, information processing, analysis and judgment, manipulation and control, to achieve the expected goal, purpose or complete a certain process. In short, automation refers to the automatic operation or operation of a machine or device according to a prescribed program or instruction without human intervention. In a broad sense, automation also includes simulating or reproducing human intelligent activities.
The characteristics of industrial automation using machine vision systems are:
Accuracy
Due to the physical limitations of the human eye, machines have obvious advantages in accuracy. Even if the human eye relies on a magnifying glass or microscope to inspect the product, the machine will still be more precise, and its accuracy can reach 0.001mm.Repeatability
The machine can complete inspection jobs in the same way again and again without getting tired. In contrast, the human eye detects a product slightly differently each time, even if the product is identical.Speed
Machines can inspect products faster. Especially when inspecting objects that are moving at high speed, such as on a production line, machines can improve production efficiency.Objectivity
Human eye detection also has a fatal flaw, which is the subjectivity brought about by emotions. The detection results will change with the mood of the workers, and the machine has no emotions, so the detection results are naturally very impressive and reliable.Cost
Since machines are faster than humans, an automatic detection machine can take on the tasks of several humans. And the machine does not need to stop, does not get sick, and can work continuously, so it can greatly improve production efficiency.ATINY Laser Sensor, focusing on the research and development, production and sales of machine vision technology products, provides laser welding seam sensors for industrial robots, endows them with sensing functions, and is used for welding seam detection and positioning to promote industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing.
