TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of precision metal processing, in particular to a visual detection equipment for precision metal part processing. BACKGROUND
[0002] Precision metal parts are widely used in high-precision fields such as aerospace, automobile manufacturing, electronic equipment, medical devices, etc. These metal parts often need to withstand harsh working environments and have very high requirements on their dimensional accuracy, surface quality and functionality. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure the processing quality of precision metal parts, especially during the production process, strict quality detection must be carried out to ensure that there are no defects beyond the design tolerance range.
[0003] In the production process of precision metal parts, visual detection technology is often used to detect their surface quality and size. This process usually includes: when the workpiece passes through the detection area, the surface is scanned by using high-resolution cameras and precise light sources, image data is collected and compared with the preset standard for analysis. The detection system can determine whether the workpiece meets the design requirements and output the corresponding detection results.
[0004] In the traditional detection method, the workpiece usually needs to go through one or more independent steps, and is transferred and processed by manual or mechanical systems. Although these steps can complete the required detection, due to the lack of high integration and real-time feedback between operation steps, the overall detection process is relatively dispersed, and it is difficult to achieve continuous and efficient processing. There may be a certain pause or waiting between the detection links of each workpiece, which affects the production efficiency.
[0005] And in actual operation, the detection and subsequent processing links fail to form an effective linkage, resulting in delays in sorting and subsequent processing of qualified and unqualified workpieces. When dealing with complex processes or multiple functional requirements, it fails to achieve synchronous and accurate cooperation, the operation steps are lengthy, and the production efficiency is low. SUMMARY
