Production Integration
The following image displays a possible setup of an inspection system realized with NeuroCheck:
Images from one or more digital cameras are transferred to the PC. Alternatively a combination of cameras and frame grabber boards can be used to transfer the images to the PC.
These results can be passed on through various channels, e.g. via digital I/O boards or the serial interface directly to a PLC or master computers, or to files, which can be read by standard software like spreadsheet programs.
NeuroCheck's communication channels can also be used to remote-control the software. PLC and master computer can trigger the inspection process according to the production cycle time, switch check routines depending on the type of work piece to be inspected etc. Thus it is possible to achieve fully automatic inspection of every single item produced.
NeuroCheck analyzes the image, yielding results like:
measurement values,
like size or distance of objects within the imageoptical properties,
like brightness or contrast of objectsidentified texts or bar codes
or simply the statement:
"Part O.K." or
"Part not O.K."
