Abstract
An apparatus to detect the topology of a workpiece including surface variations and flaws according to images from several viewpoints includes a frame, a loading member, a robot, an image capturing mechanism, and a controller. The loading member is positioned on the frame and loads a workpiece. The controller controls the robot to drive the image capturing mechanism to move or rotate to different preset positions from each of which the image capturing mechanism can capture images of the workpiece and transmit the images to the controller. The controller further processes the images to obtain an assessment of the components and surface of the workpiece for further processing.
Claims20
A detecting apparatus configured to detect variations and defects in a workpiece from a plurality of positions, the detecting apparatus comprising:
- a frame;
- a loading member positioned on the frame and configured to load and fix the workpiece;
- a robot positioned on the frame and above the loading member;
- an image capturing mechanism fixed on the robot;
- a controller electrically connected to the image capturing mechanism and the robot, wherein the controller controls the robot to drive the image capturing mechanism to move or rotate to reposition the image capturing mechanism to a plurality of preset angles for inspection of the workpiece, and controls the image capturing mechanism to capture images of the workpiece at each position to be inspected and transmit the images to the controller, the controller further processes the images to identify and assess the surface of the workpiece according to the images of the workpiece.
