Ideally mea surements should be performed on a part that is not moving so there is no motion blur and so that a longer exposure and smaller lens aperture can be used Progressive Scan Cameras In addition to programmable exposure the camera is non interlaced usually called progressive scan If you intend to use a different camera with your Vision Appliance call ipd for supported cameras Make sure that it is progressive scan has an electronic shutter and is compatible with the control signals power and cabling Strobe Lighting A strobe light provides a brief high intensity pulse of light that can help reduce motion blur and still provide adequate illumination to the part being inspected Traditional xenon strobe lights are bright and can be very short in duration less than 100 microseconds to freeze the part motion Xenon strobes have substantial variability in intensity This can create variations in the image quality which could be mistaken for variation in the part quality Xenon strobe lights are used only when there is no easier way to get short high intensity light LEDs Light Emitting Diodes can also be used as a strobe and over driven to give a short bright pulse of light Even with a strobe illumination source you need a camera with an electronic shutter and expo sure time to prevent ambient light from contaminating the image The Vision Appliance has a dedicated I O line for firing a fast strobe because this mu

37. ne solution is to have the Vision Appliance look for the threads and only take an inspection image when the thread is cen tered in the field of view A simpler approach is to have a separate Part in Place PiP sensor that detects when the bottle is in the correct position A PiP sensor allows the Appliance to work at higher part speeds We have used inexpensive PiP sensors from HTM Electronics Industries http www htm sensors com and from Banner Engineering www bannerengineering com Reducing Blurring Caused by Part Motion The second problem is blurring caused by motion of the part When the part is in place the mo tion of the part must be frozen so that the image of the part is not blurred by the motion Some times the part is stopped while a picture is taken This is ideal for the best measurement accuracy With continuous motion as on a conveyer belt we rely on the camera and lighting to freeze the motion The camera used with the Vision Appliance has a programmable exposure time so you can set the part viewing time Selecting the viewing time depends on the part speed the amount of blurring due to motion that can be tolerated and the amount of available light The shorter the viewing time the more light is needed to see the part The camera also has an electronic shutter but this is automatically adjusted for you Assuming that only one part is in the field of view at a time an estimate of the viewing time can be derived fr
38. om the following equation View Time in seconds B P T where B is the amount of blur you can tolerate in pixels P is the number of pixels per image image size in the direction of motion I is the number of images taken per second or the number of parts per second For example if the motion is horizontal with respect to the camera and the picture size is 640 pixels per horizontal line then P2640 If you are inspecting 5 parts per second 125 and can tolerate one pixel of blurring B 1 then 38 Rev 04 3 May 2007 405 00020 00 VA1x VA2x VA3x User s Reference View Time lt 1 640 5 2 315 microseconds This is within the camera exposure range and shutter speeds but will reguire good illumination perhaps by an LED strobe because the exposure time is brief You adjust the camera s exposure time using the Exposure Control slider on the Vision Ap pliance s Sensor Setup screen This slider can range from 0 no exposure black screen to 1023 longest exposure in steps of roughly 64 microseconds starting at 1 2 32 microseconds The exact times on this control are in increments of the RS 170 horizontal line time of 63 556 micro seconds In practice you will adjust the exposure to balance good image contrast against visible blur due to part motion Blurring of the image caused by the motion of the part motion blur even when not visible to the human eye looking at the camera image will reduce the accuracy of measurements
