The invention relates to an orthogonal vision detection
system for detecting the wear condition of an
end mill and belongs to the technical field of optical measurement and
mechanical engineering. The orthogonal vision detection
system comprises top surface and lateral surface CCD (
Charge Coupled Device) cameras, top surface and lateral surface lenses, top surface and lateral surface ring-shaped light sources, an X-directional guide rail, a Z-directional guide rail, an X-directional sliding block, a Z-directional sliding block, a bracket, handwheels, a rotating table, a marble base, an
image acquisition card and a computer. According to the invention, the double CCD cameras which are arranged in the orthogonal directions are adopted, an image
analog signal of a wear region is acquired by the
image acquisition card and is converted into a
digital signal, computer-vision
software is applied, the
digital signal is processed by the computer and the width and the area of a wear zone of a rear tool face of the
end mill are accurately measured, so that the detection of the wear condition of the
end mill is implemented. The orthogonal vision detection
system has the characteristics of non contact,
high resolution, high
automation degree and high speed. The fault-free
operating time of
machine tool equipment an be effectively prolonged and the product quality is improved. The orthogonal vision detection system has very important significance and practical value in application of an automatic
machine tool.
