Machine vision

2D Vision application (Defect inspection)

In machine vision applications, not only image computing but also the lighting control is the key to the success. In conventional solution, we normally use external lighting controller to adjust the brightness and the strobe mode. The conventional solution may cause poor quality that impact the image computing and interpretation due to mistouch or the lack of adjustment accuracy.
One of an IC final test and assembly corporation in Taiwan is using APLEX’s AVS-504 machine vision controller. It integrates FPGA lighting control function with 16 channels DIO and 4 channels GigE camera expansion ability. Additionally, programmable lighting and I/O control offer a well validated embedded solution which can be integrated into any kind of vision software to accomplish highly integration by SDK. The programmable design improves the brightness control accuracy and solves mistouch problem which decrease the probability of failure captures. AVS-504 supports 2 x 2.5” SATA3 HDD/SSD to save massive image data temperately in local site and upload it after computing through built-in Wi-Fi. In the end, it will be analyzed and managed by the up-layer MES system.

3D Vision application (Positioning & Alignment)

In 3D vision application, huge data of 3D point cloud take a heavy-duty in computing. In order to reduce AVS-504 CPU computing pressure and increase system stability, customers choose APLEX’s AVS-504 high-end platform and 3D camera from Canada’s renowned corporation. After collecting the 3D point cloud data which is calculated by AVS-504, the motion control card will output the data to control automatic equipment for material selection. APLEX’s AVS-504 plays an important role in increasing customers’ production capacity by its outstanding performance. Moreover, it features fanless design to lower maintenance cost and the flexible expansions also benefit the integration of vision application and motion control. With all these advantages, APLEX provides customers the best up-layer control platform and solution.
