3D Smart Sensors: Advantages of High Speed, High-Sensitivity Rubber and Tyre Inspection

3D Smart Sensors: Advantages of High Speed, High-Sensitivity Rubber and Tyre Inspection

Automated quality control in the rubber and tyre (R&T) industry requires a 3D machine vision solution with specialised features and capabilities. This is because R&T applications involve scanning low-contrast, dark materials with complex geometry at very high speed––something that can only be achieved using robust 3D sensor technology.

Laser Profiler scanning parts on a conveyor

Achieving 100% Quality Control - Part 1.

There are three main types of inspection that occur in the factory today: (1) Offline – First article inspection; (2) At-line – Random or reject sampling inspection; and (3) Inline – 100% part inspection. Of the three, 100% part inspection is the ultimate goal for manufacturers.

Solving the Challenges of Multi-Sensor Networking Part 2.

Solving the Challenges of Multi-Sensor Networking Part 2.

In Part 1 we looked at two of the four main challenges in multi-sensor networking: (1) sensor wiring and (2) sensor discovery, mapping, and assignment. Now let's take a look at the two remaining challenges: (3) sensor alignment to a common coordinate system, and (4) sparse or dense network processing.

Multi-Sensor Networking

Solving the Challenges of Multi-Sensor Networking Part 1.

The data handling of many sensors that scan a single target, called multi-sensor networking, is an important capability to support large object applications. Many sensors are required when the target object is larger than what a single sensor is able to scan, or when multiple views are required to capture key features of an object.
