OPTICAL TERMS AND SELECTION
Question Item Answer

What is the terminal size? Actual view area
You will select the biggest terminal and set
the viewing area for measurement.

How high is the target because of
terminal shape, wire twist & bend,
machines positioning, etc.?
Viewing depth of
field.
Depth for maintaining clear focusing is set
(see WD comparison table). If images
should miss focusing, good measurement
cant be performed.

How far the distance should be
between the lens surface and the
target?
WD ( = working
distance)
See WD comparison table. Select a
suitable lens.

How big is the visual size on
display?
CCD size
Viewing size is determined by CCD size
and lens zoom ration. Our CCD is 1/3.
See explanation in the next clause.
How big is the camera set? Outer dimension
Normally machine tables space is limited.
Check if there is enough space for the
camera unit.

Is it possible to deepen the focusing
depth?
Aperture
Turn the aperture on the lens for closing
beam path to deepen focusing depth. Be
careful, image gets darker and image
quality becomes worse along with.
Image enlarging and shrinking zoom
With the zoom lens, you can adjust
zooming ratio. Note that zoom up causes
shorter WD and shorter focusing depth.

There is the master picture shown in the upper of reference picture frame.
There is the currently captured picture in the lower new picture frame.
Be careful that a picture cannot be shown properly if the delay time is not adjust precisely.


10. CALIBRATION METHOD

Calibration with CVM-3 means the set up process how many pixels are corresponding to 1mm
long. Note that this calibrated value is common to all items. Therefore, after the calibration, do
not adjust the camera conditions at changing for a new item.
Following inspection tools will use the calibration value.
Crimp check: insulation edge check tool, wire strands edge check tool, seal check tool
Strip check: strands diameter check tool, a strand projection check tool, stripped length
check tool, seal check tool
How to set
Find out the right delay time exactly and set it. Check if the image is shown properly on
display after triggering.

Capture image of the stripped strands.


25
will be clicked.
Now, position the blue frame so that it covers the stripped insulator edge and strands top.


Check and confirm that blue lines are drawn vertically on the stripped edge and strands top.
Input the actually measured length of stripped strands in the reference length.


When you relocate the blue frame, push the re-
calculation. Pixel number will be calculated again.

Pixel number will be shown in the measured value.

You will find the calibration value in the conversion
value 1mm. For example in the left picture, 50.75
pixels are equal to 1mm long.




After calculation of calibration, push OK button on the upper right corner. It will be applied to
all items then after. Caution. Calibration must be done accurately, otherwise right
measurement of length cannot be performed.

13. INSPECTION TOOLS
CRIMPED TERMINAL INSPECTION TOOL
POSITIONING TOOL

This vision system captures target without non-stopping targets. Therefore,
terminals position and inclination must be compensated.



Master picture set display
Get the display of setting model area and search area.
This picture selected by these model-search areas is saved as the master picture.

Angular tolerance
Set the inclination tolerance. The master picture is inclination = zero. For example, if it is set as
15 degree, data pictures will be searched for rotational direction within this tolerance.

Eraser tool
Get the eraser display.
If there should exist unstable and negligible points in the model area, place this eraser tool.

Lower Tolerance of matching rate
Data pictures are calculated of normalized correlation against the master picture (model area).
If this correlation level should become lower, the system judges the positioning as NG.


If data picture should get out of inclination tolerance or lower limit of normalized correlation
level, inspection tools stop and result should become to NG.


32
Master picture set display
Model area is framed with the red.
Set the frame on the stable area, which
keeps unique features, like the left photo.

Search area is framed with the blue.
The system finds the model within this
search frame and does positioning

Caution: if the model area should be
bigger than the search area or it does not exist in the search area, inspection cannot start. The
model area should be smaller and exist inside the search area.


Eraser tool
When you should find some part be
unstable at image capturing several times,
it is an idea to mask such parts.

Select the eraser size from Large, Medium
or Small. Then click the part for masking.
Caution: eraser is available only inside the
model area.





Click it, and erased part is recovered. Retry it.

INSULATION BARREL INSPECTION TOOL

It detects the insulation barrels bent-inside, bent-outside or deformation.
Instead of the master picture, this tool uses the teach-in picture which is
statistically calculated by up to 50 pictures in the good pieces library.
With the teach-in picture, this tools suppress data dispersion and detects failure
accurately.





Tips for good set
Place the frame on the
whole insulation barrel
along the edge line
exactly.

If it touches insulator,
unexpected influence
may get trouble at
judgment.


33
Density of defect
Defects are indexed for operators convenience from small to large degree.
Small: the most severe degree. A very little change is judged as defective.
Large: The most rough degree. Only a big change is judged as defective.

Current value
Matching ratio is shown in % between the teach-in picture and data.
Max 100%, Min 0%

Lower limit tolerance of discrepancy
If data should get lower value than the set tolerance, it is judged as the insulation barrel error.
CONDUCTIVE WIRE BARREL CHECK TOOL
Barrel surface scratches and wire strands overlapping on top or side are
checked with it. This tool checks images based on the teach-in picture
created by statistical calculation of good pieces images. The library can
register up to 50 pieces. If new pictures are stored there, older pieces are
removed.



Density of defects
Defects are indexed for operators convenience from small to large degree.
Small: the most severe degree. A very little change is judged as defective.
Large: The most rough degree. Only a big change is judged as defective.

Current value
Current images discrepancy from the teach-in picture is shown in percentage.
Max100% Min: 0%

Lower limit tolerance of discrepancy
If data image should get lower discrepancy %, the barrel check should result as NG.










Hint for set
Set and place the frame
carefully on the conductor
barrel so to cover the
edge precisely.
Strands image is likely to
change easily. So, do not
include strands in the
frame.


34
FITTING PART OUTLOOK
Fitting part scratches and deformation are detected with this tool.
This tool checks the fitting part with the teach-in picture, which is calculated
among the good pieces in the library. The library keeps up to 50 pieces and
newer pieces are used for the calculation.






Density of defects
Defects are indexed for operators convenience from small to large degree.
Small: the most severe degree. A very little change is judged as defective.
Large: The most rough degree. Only a big change is judged as defective.

Current value
Current images discrepancy from the teach-in picture is shown in percentage.
Max100% Min: 0%

Lower limit tolerance of discrepancy
If data image should get lower discrepancy %, the barrel check should result as NG.

Hit for setting
The fitting part shape is
very different, terminal to
terminal, and camera
focusing may lose clear
image due to height
change.
The whole fitting area
must be inside the view
area like the left
example.

35
INSULATOR POSITION DETECTION TOOL
Insulators low feed (terminal hanging) and high feed (insulator biting) are
detected with this tool. There are three possible inspection logics available.
So, select the most suitable logic according to the wire character or stripped
strands.




1Ins Edg( Insulator edge detection)
The system scans image from the left to right inside the frame. And, the point where it detects
higher sensitivity that threshold is defined as the insulator edge. Then, it measures distance
from the frame left edge to the insulator edge. If there should not exist any edge in the frame,
judgment is NG.








Brightness change graph
The left red graph is the scanning chart left to right.


Edge sensitivity
The yellow line is the threshold for detecting the insulator edge
points. Look at the above photo sample. The center green line is the
insulator edge found by the computer. By monitoring this green line,
adjust the threshold value so that the line overlaps on the actual
edge.


Edge width
To draw the above sensitivity chart graph (red), you can take plural scanning points for
averaging sensitivity data. If you get a bigger width, it effects to create a mild graph. The result
will make it easier to get the edge at non-focusing image. On the other hand, the edge line
address is likely to shift from the actual edge line.

Judgment tolerance
See the red two lines in the above sample photo. If the edge line should exist between these
red lines, its location is judged as OK. If it should go beyond upper or lower red lines, judgment
is NG.


36
2 Str Det(Number of wire strands detection)
The frame is divided into two parts. Each part is scanned from top to the bottom so to find edge
numbers. Left part detects edge number at insulator area. If more edges should be detected
than set tolerance, the judgment is NG. Right part detects edge number at strands area. If fewer
edges should be detected than set tolerance, the judgment is NG.








Ins/Strands position adjustment
Is clicked to adjust right and
left parts size. By monitoring the
photo image of insulator and
strands, adjust the parts. It is
allowed to adjust up to 50% of the
frame.









Brightness change graph
The upper left red chart graph shows the brightness change in a part
of frame. Normally, the insulator part shows flat character without up-
down change, the strands part shows up and down graph of big
change.


Edge sensitivity
Threshold line defines number edges. Graph exceeding the yellow line (=threshold) is the edge.
And the green lines in the above photo sample are the positions of edges. By monitoring the
sample photo, adjust the threshold value to get matching with the actual edge number.

Edge width
If you increase the number, the brightness chart curve gets milder.
And, edges can be detected even if camera focusing should lose clear image.
However, be careful it may miss the exact locations of edges.

Judgment count tolerance
If the number of edges at insulator part should be more than tolerance, NG is given.
If the number of edges at strands part should fewer than set tolerance, NG is give.










37
3Str Det (Color detection)
The frame is divided into two parts and the color portion is checked at each part.
There are two color checking methods. Select either HSV or RGB. Both are color attribution and
used for modeling in the computer.
RGB: it counts color attributes (R= red, G= green, B=blue) on the target area.
HSV: it counts another color attributes (Hue, Saturation, and Value) on the target area.


Color add
You can add up to two colors. When two colors are added, target
color should match at least one of them.


Color selection
extractor Click this symbol mark to extract the color of the
target. Check if the extractor mark is ON. Check and confirm if the
extractor location is suitable for getting the color of insulator and
strands.

Selected color

Extracted color is shown in the left. And its attributed values are
shown like the left.

Collective adjustment of color range
Expansion of color values at a certain ratio
Shrinking of color values at a certain ratio

Hint of use: Expansion and Shrinking

Normally color matching range is too small, it has to be expanded so to differentiate the color of
strands from that of insulator clearly. The above drawing shows how to expand the strands color.
The left photo shows no color of strands and right photo shows the strands (= orange colored) .

Hue/Saturation/Value Red/Blue/Green
Set color ranges are shown by the bar graph like the above example (HSV attribution maps)
These bars can be shifted for adjustment.

Judgment tolerance
The orange colored part is the part where the color is found. Against the found color part, you
set upper and lower tolerances, for each insulator part and strands part respectively.
If the judged values should get lower the set tolerance or upper the set tolerance, result is NG.






38
ALLOWANCE POSITION DETECTION
Strands low feed (strands, too short) and Strands high (strands, too long) are
detected with this tool. There are three possible detection logics can be applied.
Check the terminal and selected the best suitable one.




1. Upper position of insulator
Image inside the frame is scanned from left to right to find the strands edge by detecting the
threshold level in the brightness change graph. The distance is defined from the frame let side
to the strands edge. If there should exist no edge, result is NG.







Brightness change graph
The red graph shows the brightness change at scanning from the left
to right.

Edge Sensitivity
This is the threshold line to define the strands projection edge.
The yellow line is the threshold and, in the above photo sample, the
green line is the defined edge line of strands projected edge.
Adjust the threshold level so that the green line overlaps on the
actual edge.



Edge width
If you set a bigger value, the brightness curve becomes milder.
A bigger edge width makes it easier to define the edge even if poor image focusing.
On the other hand, the location of edge line may drift from the actual edge line.

Judgment tolerance
See two red lines in the above sample photo. There is an upper tolerance and lower tolerance.
As long as images should exist within these two tolerance lines, judgment is OK. If it should
exceed the upper or lower tolerances, judgment is NG.




39
2Str Det (strands detection)
The set frame is divided into two parts. Each part is scanned from top to bottom and counts
number of edges respectively. The left part is of strands and the right one is of the terminal.
Left part ; if number of edges should be fewer than set tolerance, the result is NG.
Right part ; if number of edges should be more than set tolerance, the result is NG.









Strands/Terminal position adjustment
Click this button and you can
adjust each part width. By
monitoring strands condition and
terminal shape, adjust both parts. It
is possible to adjust up to 50%










Brightness change graph
The left graph (red) shows brightness change when scanning from
the top to bottom. It normally shows Zigzag change at the left
(strands) part, while the right part shows flat character as its nature.




Edge sensitivity
When brighter points should be found exceeding the threshold level, this area is defined as the
edge. The threshold level is shown by the yellow line in the upper graph. And the green lines
are edges in the upper sample photo. Adjust the threshold line ( = yellow horizontal line) so that
the green lines overlap on real edges without error.

Edge Width
To draw the above sensitivity chart graph (red), you can take plural scanning points for
averaging sensitivity data. If you get a bigger width, it effects to create a mild graph. The result
will make it easier to get the edge at poor-focusing image. On the other hand, the edge line
address is likely to shift from the actual edge line.

Judging tolerance
Strands side part; if the number of edges should be lower than the set tolerance, result is NG.
Terminal part; if the number of edges should be bigger than the set tolerance, result is NG.

Note: Depending on the shape of the terminal shape and surface condition, edge number count
at the terminal side may be very difficult. In such a case, find the other logic.


40
3 Str Det (Color detection)
The frame is divided into two parts and the color portion is checked at each part.
There are two color checking methods. Select either HSV or RGB. Both are color attribution and
used for modeling in the computer.
RGB: it counts color attributes (R= red, G= green, B=blue) on the target area.
HSV: it counts another color attributes (Hue, Saturation, and Value) on the target area.

Color add
You can add up to two colors. When two colors are added, target
color should match at least one of them.

Color selection
ExtractorClick this symbol mark to extract the color of the
target. Check if the extractor mark is ON. Check and confirm if the
extractor location is suitable for getting the color of insulator and
strands.


Color values
Selected colors attributes values are shown.

Collective adjustment of color range
Expansion of color value at a certain ratio
Shrinking of color value at a certain ratio


Hint for color expansion and shrinking

Normally color matching range is too small, it has to be expanded so to differentiate the color of
strands from that of terminal clearly. The above drawing shows how to expand the strands color.
The left photo shows no color of strands and right photo shows the strands (= orange colored) .
But, if the strands color should be very similar or identical to that of terminal, right part and left
part cannot be distinguished even by expansion or shrinking of the color. In such a case, try the
other inspection logic.

Hue/Saturation/Value Red/Blue/Green
Set color ranges are shown by the bar graph like the above example (HSV attribution maps)
These bars can be shifted for adjustment.

Judgment tolerance
The orange colored part is the part where the color is found. Against the found color part, you
set upper and lower tolerances, for each insulator part and strands part respectively.
If the judged values should get lower the set tolerance or upper the set tolerance, result is NG.




41
OUTER BARREL (STRANDS OUT) DETECTION TOOL

Strands out from the barrel and odd material on corner are checked with this
tool. Draw detection frames with a mouse and place them properly.


Make a new frame no.1.
Make a new frame no.2.

Brightness histogram
The left graph (red) shows brightness
distribution inside the frame. The left end
is dark and right end is bright. The sample
photo shows biased distribution in the left
corner because of the dark back ground.




Brightness threshold LowerUpper
You can set both up-limit and low-limit in the graph. If data should go beyond these limits, the
result is NG. The green color line is the low limit. The purple color line is the up limit.
When the background is dark, set the low limit as 0, and up limit as 30 to 50.
When the background is white, set the low and up limits properly so that they do not overlap red
graph. On the other hand, if the both limit lines should be too wide, errors are difficult to be
detected.


Detection frame creation
1Select the button of frame make, and
click the drawing start point

2Draw the mouse and red line
appears as a locus.

3Draw it outside of the terminal.

4Now come back to the start point and
you complete the frame.

5 is pushed for end.



42
COLOR INSPECTION TOOL
Use this tool for checking wire color, seal color and other.
Select either HSV or RGB.
Both are color attribution and used for modeling in the computer.
RGB: it counts color attributes (R= red, G= green, B=blue) on the target area.
HSV: it counts another color attributes (Hue, Saturation, and Value) on the
target area.

Color add
You can add up to two colors. When two colors are added, target
color should match at least one of them.
Color selection method
extractor Click this symbol mark to extract the color of the
target. Check if the extractor mark is ON. Check and confirm if the
extractor location is suitable for getting the color of insulator and
strands.
Color values
Selected colors attributes values are shown.
Selected color

Extracted color is shown in the left. And its attributed values are
shown like the left.

Collective adjustment of color range
Expansion of color values at a certain ratio
Shrinking of color values at a certain ratio



Hint of use: Expansion and Shrinking

Just selecting the color, the selected color range may not be matching with the actual material
size. It is possible to adjust the color range for clear definition of the colored territory.
We explain the adjustment with the above two photos.
The left photo is suitably of its colored size, while the right one is too large and inadequate
because its background color of black has been mixed in the same color = blue. Of course, you
cannot expect good detection with it.


Hue/Saturation/Value Red/Blue/Green
Set color ranges are shown by the bar graph like the above example (HSV attribution maps)
These bars can be shifted for adjustment.

Judgment tolerance
The orange colored part is the part where the color is found. Against the found color part, you
set upper and lower tolerances, for each insulator part and strands part respectively.
If the judged values should get lower the set tolerance or upper the set tolerance, result is NG.

43
SEAL INSPECTION TOOL
This tool checks the water proof seal.
Use it when the seal is inserted to the terminal.


The seal inspection tool includes a
check of seal shape matching and
seal position.

The seal matching: Seal image in the
frame vs its image of teach-in picture.

The seal position: The frame location
is always aligned by monitoring the
seal shape. Therefore, the frame
location is measured to detect the
seal position.

Seal matching
Density of defect
Defects are indexed for operators convenience from small to large degree.
Small: the most severe degree. A very little change is judged as defective.
Large: The most rough degree. Only a big change is judged as defective.

Current value
Matching rate, comparing the data image against the teach-in picture, is express by %.
(Max: 100 % Min: 0%)

Lower limit tolerance of discrepancy
If the data should be lower than the specified tolerance value, result is NG.

Seal position check
Lower limit / Current value / Upper limit
The seal check frames position is measured in the model area.

Lower limit is for the seals backward-shifting. If it should shift further, then it should
result as the seal position NG.

Current value is for the seals center position in the frame. If the system has been
calibrated, it is displayed with mm. If not, it is done with pixel counts.

Upper limit is for the seals forward-shifting. If it should shift further, then it should result
as the seal position NG.













44
STRIPPED WIRE INSPECTION TOOL

The wire inspection tool works at trigger signal for shutter while the Direction Signal is on. This
tool needs the backlight emission.

Four kinds of stripping can be checked.
Normal strip
Strip with seal
Half strip
Non strip

According to the type of current stripping in production, select one of four icons. Then register
the program number.
POSITIONING TOOL


Because the image is taken on the fly, shuttered images position and rotational displacement
has to be aligned to get the identical position at every time. The positioning process is as
following;

Model search area edit
Move to the set display of the search area and model area.
The system will save the image circled by the model search area.

Angular tolerance
The master images angle is set as zero (0), and the angular tolerance value is set.
The default is 15 degree. Within this range, the program compensates rotation. But, if it should
rotate beyond the set tolerance, the positioning error will be resulted.


Lower tolerance of matching rate
Data pictures are calculated of normalized correlation against the master picture (model area).
If this correlation level should become lower, the system judges the positioning as NG.


If data picture should get out of inclination tolerance or lower limit of normalized correlation
level, inspection tools stop and result should become to NG.

45

Model search area display
The model area is framed with the red line.
Like the left picture, set this frame on the
part where the shape is unique and stable.

The search area is framed with the blue
line, from where the model area is
searched.

Set the model area inside the search area
in any case.


STRANDS DIAMETER INSPECTION TOOL

It is scanned inside the set frame from top to bottom.
Distance of two edges is defined as the strands diameter.


Brightness change graph
The left chart graph is that of scanning
brightness change from top to bottom.

Edge sensitivity
The edge is found at the point where
brightness changes more than the set
level (threshold). The yellow line in the
graph is the threshold level.

Look at the photo. The green line is the
edge defined by the threshold line. Therefore, adjust the threshold level by monitoring the
green line until it is overlap the real edge.

Edge width
If you increase the number, the brightness chart curve gets milder.
And, edges can be detected even if camera focusing should lose clear image.
However, be careful it may miss the exact locations of edges

Judgment tolerance
After you complete calibration, the diameter is calculated by millimeter (mm)
If the diameter should be lower than the lower limit tolerance, result is NG.
If the diameter should be upper than the upper limit tolerance, result is NG.
The current value is distance between the edge and the other, shown by mm.



46
PROJECTION TOP POSITION
This is the whisker checking tool. It is available at the normal
strip and seal strip checking modes. It monitors a strand piece
projecting from the top of strands edge. If it should be longer than
the set tolerance, the result is NG.

Set the inspection frame like
to the left picture. It should
circle the whole of strands
top. The green straight line
is the top of strands and
each strand top is dotted
with green point. When
these dots go beyond the
green line, we decide they
are whiskers.

Strand top position
It scans inside the frame from left to right as shown by the red
graph in the left. It means the graph of brightness change.

Edge sensitivity
To define the line of strands top, the sensitivity is adjusted.
The yellow line in the graph can adjust the sensitivity. By
monitoring the green line, adjust this line until the green line
overlaps the actual strands top level.

Edge width
If you increase the value, the graph of brightness change
becomes milder. And a bigger edge width makes it easier to
get the edge. On the other hand, the green line position is
likely to be apart from the real position.

The whisker top position
The red graph is the brightness change when it is scanned
from left to right.




Edge sensitivity
To define the whisker position, set the sensitivity.
When the red curve goes beyond the threshold line ( yellow), it is recognized as the whisker.

Travel distance
The interval between green dots is defined.
Wider travel distance value is set, and then the green dots interval becomes wider.
Smaller travel distance value is set and then the green dots interval becomes narrow.

Judgment tolerance
The longest whisker is the current value.
You will set the tolerance.
If the current value should be bigger than the set tolerance, the result is NG.



47
STRANDS OPEN (LOOSEN)
Normally the strands top is set together. It becomes loose (=
open) by some reason. It can be checked with the normal strip
and seal strip check modes. This tool compares the strands
diameter against the strands top diameter to find an irregular ratio.


Set the inspection frame to
cover a large area of the
strands top. It measures
distance of both edges as the
open value.





Brightness change graph
The red graph in the left is the scanned result of
brightness from top to bottom.

Edge sensitivity
The brightness change graph is lined with the threshold
(= yellow line) to define what brightness is the actual
edge of top strands. You can see the result as the
green line in the above photo. Therefore, adjust the
yellow threshold until the green lines overlap actual
edges.



Edge width
If you increase the value, the graph of brightness change becomes milder. And a bigger edge
width makes it easier to get the edge. On the other hand, the green line position is likely to be
apart from the real position.

Judgment tolerance
Open (%) Current value / Upper limit
The current ratio of loosening (= open) in percentage.
Open ratio = strands diameter / strands top diameter (%)
If it should be bigger than the upper limit, the result is NG.

Strands diameters (top / root) values
Use these values for setting up the tolerance.




48
STRIPPED LENGTH INSPECTION TOOL
It measures from the stripped edge to the strands
top, which is available for the normal strip, seal strip
and half strip.


Set the frame so that it covers from the
insulator to the top of strands. It searches the
two edges drawn by green lines as shown in
the left picture. Its distance is measured.


Area for strip length adjustment
Click the arrow key in the right of the graph
display to get the split frames. The left one is
for insulator stripping edge and the right one
is for strands top edge. If there should be
defects or odd material in middle, escape
them by adjusting both frames.



Insulator stripping position
The red graph is the record by scanning inside the frame from left
to right (brightness).

Edge sensitivity
The stripping position is exactly decided with it. The curve rising
upward to cross the yellow line (= threshold) can be adjusted until
the green line overlaps the actual edge.

Edge width
If you increase the value, the graph of brightness change
becomes milder. And a bigger edge width makes it easier to get
the edge. On the other hand, the green line position is likely to be
apart from the real position.

Strands top position
The red graph is the scanning record at right corner inside the frame (brightness)

Edge sensitivity
The strands top position is exactly decided with it. The excessive curve change to cross the
yellow line (= threshold) can be adjusted until the green line overlaps the actual edge.

Edge width
If you increase the value, the graph of brightness change becomes milder. And a bigger edge
width makes it easier to get the edge. On the other hand, the green line position is likely to be
apart from the real position.

Judgment tolerance
Distance between two green lines is measured (mm display after calibration). Set the tolerance
and current data is judged if OK or NG based on this tolerance range.




49
SEAL INSPECTION TOOL
When the wire is put with the water protection seal, use it in the seal strip mode.



The seal inspection tool checks the
seal shape and seal position.

The seal shape: Seal image is
compared with that in the teach-in
picture calculated among good
pieces in library to calculate
matching degree. It is suitable for
checking reverse insertion and
serious defects of seal.
The seal position: It measures the
frame from the model area to find
seal displacement.
Seal shape
Defects density
Defect degree is set from 1 to 10. No.1 is the most severe level. It takes even a small
matching error as defective piece. No.10 is opposite. Even a large matching error is
taken as good piece.

Current value
Matching ratio of the current data is shown in percentage (%)
Max100% Min0%

Judgment limit
If data should get lower matching ratio than the specified tolerance, result is NG.


Seal Position check
Low limit / Current data / Upper limit
The position check is measured as the distance of the frame from the model area.

When the seal is slipping down, its lower limit is set in the tolerance. If data should get
lower value, the result is NG.

The current value is express by mm after calibration. If not, it is expressed by pixel
number.

When seal is slipping upward, its upper limit is set in the tolerance. If data should get
upper value, the result is NG.
