In this study, an inspection system for automotive parts using machine vision has been developed and presented. The system is comprised of six analog CCD cameras, frame grabber, and mechanism that loads the automotive parts to the system for the inspection. An Image processing algorithm for detecting eight different types of defects of oil-seals are developed, and the effectiveness of the algorithm is experimentally verified. Inspection process is completed in 1 second with acceptable accuracy. It is envisaged that this inspection system will have a wide application in the automotive part manufacturing industry in the future.

Defect inspection system for industrial applications takes the important portion. Non-destructive inspection method has been significantly improved. Infrared thermography, as one of method for non-destructive inspection, can provide relatively precise data and quick inspection time. This study, it was performed to measure defect according to the measurement limit of the non-visible areas such as the back surface of the pipe using reflection plate using reflection plate based on Infrared thermography. The materials of the reflection plate were determined in consideration of the space limitation and the thermal characteristics, and defects were detected by the manufactured reflection plate. Detection of defect in non-visible area using the candidate materials for reflection plate was conducted.

Implementing flexible production systems in domestic and foreign automotive design parts assembly has increased demand for automation and power reduction. Consequently, transition to a hybrid production method is observed where multiple vehicles are assembled in a single assembly line. Multiple robots, 3D vision sensors, mounting positions, and correction software have complex configurations in the automotive glass mounting system. Hence, automation is required owing to significant difficulty in the assembly process of automobile parts. This study presents a primer lighting and inspection algorithm that is robust to the assembly environment of real automotive design parts using high power 'ㄷ'-shaped LED inclined lighting. Furthermore, a 2D camera was developed in the primer coating inspection system-the core technology of the glass mounting system. A primer application demo line applicable to the actual automobile production line was established using the proposed high power lighting and algorithm. Furthermore, application inspection performance was verified using this demo system. Experimental results verified that the performance of the proposed system exceeded the level required to satisfy the automobile requirements.

자동차 부품 업체에서는 납기 준수, 생산 원가 절감, 품질 관리 향상 등의 고객의 필수적인 요구 사항를 만족하기 위하여 자동화를 추진하고 있다. 현재의 수작업을 통한 육안 검사 공정에서는 이러한 필수 요구 사항을 만족하기에는 불가능하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 품질 관리 개선을 위하여 도어 힌지 브라켓 부품에 대한 현재의 수작업 육안 검사 공정을 대체할 수 있는 자동 선별 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 본 제안은 도어 힌지 브라켓 부품의 용접너트 누락 불량 발생을 방지하여 고객사의 검사 요구사항 등을 만족할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 검사 공정 알고리즘 및 유사 척도 매칭 알고리즘 프로그램을 자동 선별 시스템에 적용하여 정상 제품과 불량 제품을 구별할 수 있도록 하였다. 검사 공정 알고리즘 및 유사 척도 매칭 알고리즘의 검증 시험을 통하여 검출정확도 98%의 성공적인 검사 결과를 나타내었고 이를 생산 현장에 적용하여 불량 제품감소에 따른 생산성 향상에 기여하였다.

본 논문에서는 사출성형 자동차부품의 외관 품질과 생산성을 높이기 위하여 사출성형 자동차부품의 외관 비전검사 방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 기존 사출성형 자동차부품의 외관검사는 사람에 의한 매뉴얼 샘플링 검사로 진행된다. 먼저 전자부품(TFT-LCD 및 PCB 등) 비전검사에 활용되는 Edge-Tolerance 비전검사 알고리즘([1]-[4])을 사출성형 부품 외관검사에 적용하고, 그 문제점을 파악하였다. 그리고 그 문제점을 극복하는 새로운 외관 비전검사 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 외관비전검사는 양품 기준영상을 기준으로 검사하고자 하는 부품의 검사영상을 정렬한 후, 부분적인 적응적 이진화 후, 이진블록매칭 알고리즘을 이용하여 양품 이진영상과 검사이진영상을 블록단위로 비교함으로써 불량부분을 검출한다. Edge-Tolerance 비전검사 알고리즘과 제안된 외관비전검사 방법을 실제 개발된 장비를 이용하여 다양한 비교 실험을 통하여 그 효용성을 검증하였다.

We develop an inspection method for bearing faults with a rapid change in the rotation speed and present indexes for the pass/fail inspection. At the end of line, impulse noises generated by the operation of machines and conveyors may distort the inspection results. In this paper, we present robust inspection indexes for bearing faults under impulse noises, by taking into account fault signals having pulse train. Using logistic regression, we optimize the pass/fail criterion for each index and evaluate the performance of the inspection indexes based on the total error rate.

In the most of a nation, the safety and emission gas inspection system of a vehicle in service have been conducted with the most compatible inspection system according to its real environmental situation. Especially, the state of vehicle emission gas is measured by advanced emission gas inspection equipment. It has the problem that the decrease effect of an environmental pollution matter is not calculated by weight percent measurement type equipment. Therefore, in this study, the correlations for the results of emission gas measurement are analyzed by comparing a weight percent measurement type (IDLE+ASM2525 mode) and an advanced mass measurement type (IM240 mode). As the result, the selectivity of an emission gas by IM240 mode is higher than that by IDLE+ASM2525 mode. In the future, therefore, the introduction of IM240 mode and a mass measurement type equipment are necessary. Also, we need to prepare a vehicle emission gas inspection system for introducing IM240 mode.

This study aims to improve the dynamic stiffness of an inspection robot frame to prevent derailment from transmission lines. Finite element models for the transmission lines and robot frame are developed for the multi-body dynamic simulation. Natural frequency analysis was conducted using the FE models. Three types of spacer damper clamps installed on 4-conductor transmission lines are used to evaluate the derailment of the robot. Multi-body dynamic simulations with FE models are demonstrated for sub-span oscillation. When the robot operates, derailment of inspection robot from the transmission lines is determined because of resonance. To prevent the resonance, body position was changed and thickness optimization was conducted. The results show that derailment was not occurred because of the natural frequency improvement.
