Implementing vision systems for melt blown process

EF 2023-24 · 2023-10-16

Résumé
The goal of this project is to implement a high resolution vision system into our manufacturing process to allow Realtime contactless measurement of a moving web of nanofibers. By mounting a camera on a 1.6 meter linear rail we will be able to capture images across the fine web of material without touching it. With the use of pixel counting software we will be able to determine the the thickness of the web and density of the nano fibers. This will allow us to confidently monitor process stability and tune zones across the web to balance the evenness' of the finished product. Once the process is calibrated we would like to capture data from the machine setting and overlay it with the data captured from the cameras.

Description (French)
L’objectif de ce projet est de mettre en œuvre un système de vision à haute résolution dans notre processus de fabrication afin de permettre la mesure sans contact et en temps réel d’un réseau de nanofibres en mouvement. En montant une caméra sur un rail linéaire de 1,6 mètre, nous pourrons saisir des images de la fine bande de matériau sans la toucher. Grâce à un logiciel de comptage de pixels, nous pourrons déterminer l’épaisseur de la bande et la densité des nanofibres. Cela nous permettra de contrôler en toute confiance la stabilité du processus et d’ajuster les zones de la bande afin d’équilibrer la régularité du produit fini. Une fois le processus calibré, nous aimerions capturer des données à partir du réglage de la machine et les superposer aux données capturées par les caméras.
