Product Overview

Inspector operating the Product Counting Device SD-1000 inside a cleanroom

Instant Counting of Components with Image Processing
The Counter SD-1000 is a device that uses proprietary image processing technology to count components.
It captures images of components using a camera and displays the total detected count on a monitor. It automates component counting and quantity verification tasks performed during product receiving and shipping. Even small and lightweight components, which are difficult to count using conventional methods like weight measurement counters or drop counters, can be counted accurately.

Features

Easy Setup

Product registration screen where components are enclosed by dragging, fine-tuned with arrow keys, and registered by pressing the button

Simply enclose the product by dragging to register it.
The initial setup (product registration) only requires saving an image of a single component.

No Need for Positioning

The workpiece can be placed roughly! No special positioning jigs are required. The software's automatic position correction function allows counting regardless of placement or rotation within the camera's field of view.

Compact Desktop Design

The imaging system consists of a single area sensor camera

Since the device has no conveyor or mechanical control components, it is lightweight and compact.
It can be placed on a desk, allowing for comfortable seated operation.

Functions

・Master Image Storage: Stores an image of a single component as a master reference.

・Counting: Identifies and displays the quantity of chips matching the master image on the monitor.

・Automatic Position Correction: Automatically corrects the position and orientation of components within the camera's field of view, eliminating the need for positioning jigs.

・Counting Report: Outputs count results by lot or sheet in HTML or Excel format.

Assignment

Manual product counting takes significant time
As product orders increase, the need for more counting work grows, requiring additional inspectors and increasing labor costs

Implementation Results

Flow and Time of Counting Work

Work Items		Before (min)	After (min)
①	Record the received quantity on the counting sheet.	0.50	—
②	Count defective products marked with a pen or empty spaces (removed products) using a microscope.	18.00	—
③	Record the number of defects and empty spaces on the counting sheet.	1.00	1.00
④	Calculate the number of good products by subtracting defects and empty spaces from the received quantity and record on the sheet.	0.50	—
Total		20.00	1.00

Comparison of Counting Work Time

With conventional methods, counting took 20 minutes per sheet. By introducing the product counting device, counting was completed in just 1 minute, reducing labor by 95%.
Additionally, using a machine reduced human errors, leading to fewer complaints.
