WORKPIECE QUALITY DETERMINATION METHOD AND WORKPIECE QUALITY DETERMINATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18366685 titled 'WORKPIECE QUALITY DETERMINATION METHOD AND WORKPIECE QUALITY DETERMINATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The workpiece quality determination system described in the abstract is a system that assesses the quality of a workpiece based on a projected stripe pattern on its surface. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • Observation angle setter: Sets the angle at which the projected stripe pattern is observed.
  • Stripe projection angle setter: Determines the angle at which the stripe pattern is projected onto the workpiece.
  • Reference stripe pattern creator: Generates a reference stripe pattern based on the projected pattern at the set angle.
  • Quality determinator: Calculates the difference between the projected and reference stripe patterns to determine the quality of the workpiece.

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in industries such as manufacturing, quality control, and inspection processes.

Problems Solved

This system helps in quickly and accurately assessing the quality of workpieces, reducing the need for manual inspection and potential human error.

Benefits

- Improved efficiency in quality control processes - Enhanced accuracy in determining workpiece quality - Reduction in production costs by identifying defects early on

Potential Commercial Applications

"Workpiece Quality Determination System for Industrial Quality Control"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to quality control systems using projected patterns for inspection purposes.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle different types of workpieces with varying surface characteristics?

The system may need to be calibrated or adjusted based on the specific properties of different workpiece materials.

What is the potential impact of environmental factors on the accuracy of the quality determination process?

Factors such as lighting conditions or surface reflections could potentially affect the accuracy of the system's quality assessment.


Original Abstract Submitted

A workpiece quality determination system for determining the quality of a workpiece based on a stripe pattern projected on a surface of the workpiece includes an observation angle setter that sets an observation angle at which the projected stripe pattern on the workpiece is observed, a stripe projection angle setter that sets the stripe projection angle of the projected stripe pattern at the set observation angle, a reference stripe pattern creator that creates a reference stripe pattern from the projected stripe pattern at the set stripe projection angle, and a quality determinator that calculates a difference between the projected stripe pattern and the reference stripe pattern at the stripe projection angle to determine the quality based on the difference.
