Case Study - Automatic Inspection of Curtain Cloth with Machine Vision

 

Vadain, the custom curtains manufacturer in the Netherlands, together with software developers from Sycade, OMRON machine vision technology, and machine builder Eisenkolb,  developed an automated solution to detect and analyze errors in curtain fabrics.

Sycade is an expert in the field of quality improvement through automation in the manufacturing industry.  With the expertise of Vadain, the technology and innovative automation concept of OMRON, hardware of Eisenkolb and a camera light supplier, Sycade set up a solution using a 'standard' rolling machine to unroll rolls from position A and roll up again to position B. The unrolled fabric passes over an assessment surface with an integrated cutting unit, located inside a dark unit with vision technology.


Detect, cut, register

After a defect is detected and assessed, the roll is cut and defect portion is separated. The  partial roll is marked with a sticker with the parent roll plus partial roll marking, including the number of meters. This makes it possible to have an account of meters of flawless fabric is in stock and in which cuts. This ensures that the workshop knows exactly which partial—and error free—roll can be used most efficiently for a particular order. The total of the sub-rolls remains linked to the original meters of the parent roll, making it easy and efficient to reorder fabrics.
