K9APE® Machine Vision Inspection System For Cylinders

K9APE® Machine Vision Inspection Systems are readily adapted for inspection of cylindrical products. Inspection can occur during or after the manufacturing process.

The images shown below are of a ~3.5 inch (90 mm) long portion of the surface of a specialty thin-coated metal cylinder measuring 1.1 inch (27.9 mm) in diameter and 13 inch (330.2 mm) in length. The objective of the inspection is to identify the presence and location of surface blemishes in the coating.

Each pixel corresponds to a 0.00173 inch square on the surface of the cylinder. The total captured image is ~4 Mbytes in size and covers ~3.5 inches (90 mm) of cylinder length. Four images are required to inspect the total surface of the cylinder. This can be accomplished by moving a single camera in about 2 seconds.
