Development of an Automatic Inspection System for Manufacture of Plastic-container Pump Assemblies

摘要

As the final process in manufacturing of plastic-container pump assemblies, a kind of personal care goods, in a company, the exterior of the products is currently inspected by manual work. In this processes, defections such as existence of oil stain, discoloration and incomplete forming or assembling are examined. The product quality from such manual process is mainly dependent on the experience of workers, thus consistent quality between products is not guaranteed. To cope with such problem, this study develops an automation system for the exterior inspection of the product, and the performance of the system manufactured is evaluated through a series of operation experiments. Also, the system is modified twice through statistical analysis to enhance its performance.
