Methods and devices for monitoring the drive mechanism of an automated inspection system to guide motion into a container partially filled with liquid.

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for monitoring a drive mechanism (1) of an automated inspection system for inducing movement in a container (2) partially filled with a liquid (3) and a corresponding device. The proposed method includes a step of capturing the measurement data of the surface (4) of the liquid (3) in the container (2), a step of extracting shape data regarding the shape of the surface (4) of the liquid (3) from the measurement data, and a step of extracting the shape data. A step of detecting whether or not the container (2) is moving based on the shape data is provided. The corresponding device includes a measuring device (10) and a processor (11) operably connected to the measuring device (10), wherein the measuring device (10) is a liquid (3) in a container (2). It is adapted to capture the measurement data of the surface (4) of the surface, and the processor is adapted to extract the shape data about the shape of the surface (4) from the measurement data of the container (4) based on the shape data. 2) Detects whether it is moving.
