RepairMan communicates with a program called PSI.
This first picture is what the PSI program looks like.
The PSI program controls frame grabbers. PSI also contains defect search algorithms. When a PLC signals RepairMan that a vehicle is present, RepairMan directs PSI to collect image and defect data. |
|
This is the PSI program again.
PSI takes a total of four images simultaneously using four frame grabbers and four sensors. Only one of the images is shown here. PSI uses all four images together to search for possible defects.
Here you can see where PSI has located possible defects. Notice how PSI found lots of false positives near features and edges. That problem will be taken care of by RepairMan. |

This next image shows what RepairMan looks like when it is first opened. There is nothing to show yet because a RepairMan setup file has not been created yet.
RepairMan stores all system setup information as a document file in a similar fashion to standard Windows program like Microsoft Word. The first thing that is done is to create a new document. |
| A new document is created......... |
|
The first thing that is done is to read some IGES CAD data into RepairMan. CAD data files have 3D design information in them. The CAD data allows RepairMan to find 3D locations and surface normals.
Notice the checkered pattern in the CAD display area. It is checkered because there is no image data loaded yet. The image has an X through it because the image has not been calibrated together with the CAD data yet. |
| Next, image data is taken from PSI. RepairMan will make a direct connection to PSI to automatically retrieve image data. |
