Vision assistant

[Blackspike]

• Hi folks
• I'm trying to build a little project to detect a missing tooth on a cog wheel that comes down a conveyor. Is vision assistant the easiest way to go about it as I don't have the skillset to build it from scratch in LabVIEW, but I'm assuming I will have to edit the code in the VI anyways? I don't have much experience with LabVIEW so any help would be greatly appreciated

Vision Assistant is usually a great way to start a project.  You can stack operations end to end, and then generate a VI from the vision assistant.  Once you have the VI generated, then you can modify / edit to suit your needs.

Vision assistant probably is no good as a stand alone inspection tool, but I bet it's been done.

On a conveyor system VA can't trigger based on position, so that would have to be added after the fact, or write code that identifies some unique feature that will then trigger the inspection, then wait for the next part.

Sounds like a great project to cut your vision teeth on.

Bug me if you have more questions.

Hey 

Thanks for your reply, so if I use VA to build the script first i.e colour/measurement/feature etc...then pull it into labview and edit the code to trigger camera etc...is this the best way for me to go? I think I may have taken on to much 😂

Thanks
