MVC Industry Overiview
Since our inception in 2002, MVC has been integral solutions provider in the Semiconductor and Electronics industry. We have worked with leading firms on both R&D and practical machine vision solutions such as PCB inspection, end defects in a fiber bundle, and microscoptic flow visualization.
Fiber Bundle Inspection
The Machine Vision System detects defects in the end of a fiber bundle. The fiber bundles were initially inspected visually with the aid of a video camera. The video image is displayed to the operator, and a visual catalog is used to try to detect and classify defects in the rod. The vision system uses a high resolution video camera to would automatically detect and classify defects.
System & Vision Requirements
- Detect flaws in fiber optic bundles containing over 10 thousand individual fibers
- Each bundle is divided into concentric circular quality areas that have different flaw-acceptance requirements
- Flaws such as single-fiber defects, adjacent-greys (2-fiber), triads (3-fiber), and multi-fiber clusters are detected and categorized
- Outputs include a pdf-file report and a Comma-Separated-Value spreadsheet data file containing all of the defect information and statistics for each bundle inspected
- Inspection is manually controlled from a custom keypad engineered exclusively for operators
Vision Technology
- Uses Cognex VisionPro software library
- High Resolution (5-megapixel) IEEE 1394 Firewire camera
