Image Measurement of Roller Chain Board Based on CCD

Abstract:

This paper proposes a new kind of detection method based on CCD to measure geometry sizes and roundness error of chain board of roller chain. Image is collected, and is input into computer, then is processed by a series of steps such as grey level transformation, image smoothness, lower filtration, and threshold value selection, etc. The measurement of the geometric parameters and the roundness error relies on the image contour. Roundness error is evaluated by Minimum Region Law. The diameter of the holes and the distance between the axes of two holes are calculated and measured by self-developed program. Roundness error of chain board is less than 8μm, and the distance error between the axes of two holes is 9μm. The diameters of the holes are 4.467mm and 4.461mm respectively. The reasons of measurement error are also analyzed. Theory analyses and experiment show that it is feasible to measure the geometric sizes and roundness error of roller chain by this method, which is both efficient and practicable.
