A Machine Vision Application for Industrial Assembly Inspection

Abstract

Today's high speed, complex manufacturing systems require the development of automation technologies that can be efficiently integrated into the systems and used in manufacture floors. This article presents a successful industrial application of machine vision technology for medical syringe assembly. The developed vision inspection station with ten cameras that was integrated into an assembly line has a capability of inspecting 5 syringes per 250 million seconds for a total production rate of ranging from 300 to 600 parts per minute.
