What is a CCD Machine Vision System?

CCD machine vision system is to use machines instead of human eyes to make various measurements and judgments. It is an important branch of computer science, which integrates optics, machinery, electronics, computer software and hardware and other technologies, involving computer, image processing, pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, signal processing, optical mechatronics and other fields. The rapid development of technologies such as image processing and pattern recognition has also greatly promoted the development of machine vision.

There are five main reasons to use a CCD machine vision system:

1. Accuracy

Due to the physical limitations of the human eye, machines have obvious advantages in terms of accuracy. Even if the human eye relies on a magnifying glass or microscope to inspect a product, the machine will still be more accurate because it can be accurate to thousandths of an inch.

Repeatability—The machine can do the inspection job again and again in the same way without getting tired. In contrast, the human eye will make a slight difference each time it detects a product, even if the product is identical.

2. Reproducibility

The machine can do the inspection job again and again in the same way without getting tired. In contrast, the human eye will make a slight difference each time it detects a product, even if the product is identical.

3. Speed

The machine is able to inspect products faster. Especially when inspecting objects moving at high speeds, such as on production lines, machines can increase productivity.

4. Objectivity

There is also a fatal flaw in human eye detection, that is, the subjectivity brought by emotion, the detection results will change with the artificial mood, while the machine has no joy, anger and sorrow, and the detection results are naturally very objective and reliable.

5. Cost

Since machines are faster than humans, a single automatic inspection machine is capable of taking on the tasks of several people. In addition, the machine does not need to stop, does not get sick, and can work continuously, so it can greatly improve production efficiency.
