Functions and advantages of visual inspection equipment for rubber seals 

Rubber seals are widely used in various industries, such as cell phones, automotive, medical, food, electrical appliances, etc. It is very important to ensure the quality of seals. Since manual inspection is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with low efficiency, low precision, and prone to leakage and misdetection, it is necessary to introduce rubber sealing ring visual inspection equipment to replace the traditional manual quality inspection. So, what are the main functions and advantages of rubber sealing ring visual inspection equipment?

Functions of visual inspection equipment for rubber seals

Rubber sealing ring vision inspection equipment is able to quickly measure and detect dimensions and surface defects of products, and automatically reject defective products. The equipment consists of industrial cameras, light sources, sensors and machine vision inspection system software and other components, will be ingested into the target into an image signal, transmitted to the special image processing system, according to the pixel distribution and brightness, color and other information, converted into digital signals; image system of these signals to carry out a variety of operations to extract the characteristics of the target, and then according to the results of the discrimination to control the field of the equipment action.

The equipment can measure whether the size of the sealing ring is in accordance with the design specifications, and detect whether the product has any bad defects such as deformation, lack of material, burrs, raw material, dirt, bad drawing and so on.

Advantages of visual inspection equipment for rubber seals

The traditional method of detecting rubber seals is that workers use calipers to measure the inner diameter, outer diameter and cross-section, and visually inspect the surface of the product for defects, which has the shortcomings of slow speed, low efficiency, large error of subjective judgment, and low accuracy. The use of rubber sealing ring visual inspection equipment can avoid these shortcomings, the main advantages include:

High detection efficiency. People are easily fatigued and have low energy during repeated mechanized inspections, so the inspection efficiency is relatively low. The machine will not be tired, can work continuously 24 hours a day, and the number of inspections per minute is more.

High detection accuracy. The human eye can see a limited number of details, machine vision using high-resolution cameras, can see more details, detection accuracy is higher.

Higher accuracy. Human testing results are affected by subjectivity, physical energy and other factors, and accuracy and stability cannot be guaranteed. And standards can vary from tester to tester. Machines are not subject to subjective control and test results are more accurate and stable.

Lower costs. Today's labor and management costs are rising, and manual inspection is a long-term, ongoing cost investment. Machine vision inspection is mainly an early investment, a one-time investment to ensure long-term output. In the long run, machine vision inspection costs less.
