Abstract

This paper presents the design and fabrication of economically viable nut segregation and defect detection machine for fasteners industries. This prototype is developed to help manufacturers in achieving quality assurance at minimal cost. Simulations are performed in ANSYS to optimize the design parameters of machine prototype. Working of machine prototype is categorized in three stages: (i) linearization, (ii) slot allocation, and (iii) image processing. To segregate, the individual nut from the feeder motoring mechanism is adopted for the linearization stage. For defect analysis, nuts are moved with the help of a motor on the vacant slots of rotating disk mounted with camera at fixed location. Images of nuts are captured by camera and processed for defect detection by adopting edge detection and background subtraction algorithms in image processing. The detection of nut dimensions using machine prototype is also reported.
