Wiper Arm Inspection
Vision system to probe angles at various portions of the Windshield Wiper Arm. Windshield Wiper arm needs to be inspected to ensure bents are as per the design criteria. As angle measurement is not an easy process to do it manually, this system provides an easy measurement method based on vision. The operator loads the wiper in 3-Axis movable stage and starts the test. The system will move the wiper arm mounted stage to required positions (defined during model addition) and Image the wiper portions. After capturing images of required portions, resulting angles from the vision system will be displayed to the operator. From the results, the operator knows if the production machine needs reconfiguration to meet design angles.
Benefits
- High accuracy measurement for angle
- Compatibility to support new models
Features
- Two machine vision cameras to measure the angle in front view and top view
- High precision 3-axis servo based motion system for positioning and imaging at a different portion of the wiper arm
- Motion control directly from LabVIEW
- One machine to accommodate more than 15 wiper arm models
- An intuitive user interface to guide operator in loading, unloading and testing the UUT
