AWIS - Automatic Wheel Identification
AWIS User Interface
Automatic Wheel Identification System (AWIS) is a new way to automate the identification of cast aluminum wheels. The system uses precision optics and sophisticated computer control to accurately and consistently identify cast aluminum wheels. The system runs on a standard Windows PC, and is programmed using a simple, intuitive operator interface.
The system is available as a standalone turnkey module, or as components to integrate with an existing process and transport system.
The turnkey system consists of the following components:
- Specially built non-reflective live roller conveyor
- Lighting for optimal image quality, maximum illumination with minimum glare
- Industrial CCD video camera, optics, and frame grabber
- Industrial computer system with flat panel touch screen interface
- Wheel identification software
- Control and interface box for connection to process
The turnkey system can be inserted into any conveyor system before a process. The system requires single wheel input, and can be combined with Jacobsen's two-fold singling device. Once a single wheel is transported onto the conveyor, the system moves the wheel to a predefined position and takes a snapshot of the wheel. The image of the wheel is compared to previously trained images and identified based on similarity.
