Computer vision system for defects detection in PET preform

The computer vision systems are mainly devoted for production monitoring in quality inspection systems. It is the fastest growing and most popular non-invasive product defects detection method. The productivity of electronic components growth and their prices decline creates favorable conditions for the development of image processing systems for industrial production. The food industry is one of the main industries. Production volumes grow along with human population growth. Containers for food industry are made in very large quantities and demand on quality inspection system plays important role. An automated computer vision system was developed for the control of PET preparation quality. The implementation of the designed system was presented in this article. The system used for image processing algorithms to inspect the lateral and upper parts of the workpiece. The system is designed according to its operating parameters. Reached throughput is 10,000 workpieces per hour.
