The gap and the malposition of the contact of automotive relay would heavily influence its life. If the gap and the malposition of all relays can be fully inspected and the inspection operation can be incorporated into the existing automated manufacturing and testing equipment, the quality will thus be significantly promoted. To reach this goal, a visual inspection system based on the platform of LabVIEW has been developed in this paper. The visual inspection system is capable of performing the inspection of the gap and the malposition of electrical contact in 1.6 seconds for one relay, and the whole automation system can manufacture one relay for every 2 seconds.
The humanoid robot is a combination of biped, intelligent and mimetic robot to serve human beings in non-production sectors. Since it is a very complicate automatic walking and working machinery, and it works interactively with people in daily life, its correctness and reliability in terms of its functions and performances need to be checked intensively after final assemble and before it is shipped. A novel developed computer integrated testing system (CITS) to inspect every ex-work robot before shipping with the appearance, motion, walking, sensing and recognition, intelligence as well as possessed service expert knowledge is developed in this paper. The use of this fully automated CITS will simplify the human intervenient inspection and testing of the humanoid robot, shorten the testing time and cost, and avoid human errors while in manufacturing, software loading and ex-work inspection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
