Abstract

This article focuses on the use of machine vision for the needs of automated inspections based on virtual instrumentation using a visualization tool called Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (VBAI) - National Instruments (NI). The experimental part presents a real application for camera tests of dimensions, shapes and presence. The application deals with sorting of nuts and washers M6 to M12, wherein the result is a list of the total number of nuts, washers and the number of individual indexes of nuts, washers and faulty objects and inspection status. The original contribution of the article is to demonstrate the use of machine vision based on virtual instrumentation by means of VBAI on a real industrial machine vision application.
