  Abstract

When manufacturing information and communication device that consists of lots of part, it is important to improve the quality of the produced system by inspecting the system accurately and exclude the defected part. In case of LCD which is recently in a great demand, the inspection process of the nut which bonds the back frame to protect the LCD panel has to be done by human labor. It highly required an automatic inspection system which can inspect the nut without wasting human resources. In this paper, we describe the process of developing a system which automatically inspect the status of nuts inserted during the manufacturing of LCD. The nut inspection vision system developed measures the number of nut's spiral, the distance between pitches, the width of a pitch, and the inside diameter of nut. We have adopted lens with high magnifying power and calibration tool and intended to produce automatic lighting for maintaining a stable environment for a high precision system. We also developed the algorithms for analyzing the nut. We apply the system to real factory field and verify that it is better than the man power in terms of error rate.
