Pressure Die Castings
“..any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Arthur C. Clark
August 2008

Background: Quality control is of major importance in the pressure die casting industry. Inspection of the item by human inspectors prone to short and long term variations.
An automated casting inspection system using cameras is proposed.

Requirement: Provide image analysis technology linked to a camera to measure size / thickness / angle / shape and other parameters as required.
REJECT when measurement obtained is outside SPEC, allowing casting to be rejected.

Why do Image Analysis?
Better Definition of Contrasting Areas Improved Precision/Accuracy in Measurements Reproducibility of Results Higher Throughput than Manual Methods

A Word About Our Eyes
Eyes are very good contrast adjusters, but not good for distinguishing subtle variations in color
Eyes can discern about 30 continuous levels of gray or color in a field of view
Eyes are not good judges of distance Eyes cannot accurately reproduce

Arguably, the most important aspect of all Proper setup of imaging apparatus is vital Obtain maximum contrast and dynamic range Reduce “noise” and other unwanted artifacts Uniform lighting (light) Product presentation (right way up) Resolution (CCTV VS DIGITAL)
Acquiring the Image
