Note: 1. The conveyor chain does not experience bottle jamming, bottle tipping, or bottle touching, and the entire conveyor chain operates smoothly.

                                     2. Product inlet spacing ≥ 5cm

  3. Detection rate and false detection rate are affected by factors such as product consistency, on-site environment, and transportation stability.


Visual inspection installation

Installation precautions-Glass Bottle Vision Inspection Equipment installation


Step 1: Site Selection & Preparation

Action: Choose a stable, vibration-free section of the conveyor belt. Clean the surrounding environment to minimize dust.


English Explanation: "First, we need to locate a stable section of the conveyor line. Vibration is the biggest enemy of vision systems, so avoid placing the equipment near heavy motors or sorting mechanisms. Ensure the area is clean and free of excessive dust."


Step 2: Mechanical Frame Setup

Action: Mount the inspection frame over or alongside the conveyor. Adjust the height and levelness.


English Explanation: "Next, install the mechanical frame. Secure it firmly to the conveyor structure or the floor. Use a spirit level to ensure the frame is perfectly horizontal and vertical. This guarantees that the cameras will look at the bottles from the correct angles."


Step 3: Optical & Camera System Positioning

Action: Install the industrial cameras, lenses, and LED light sources (backlight/ring light).


English Explanation: "Third, we install the optical components. Mount the cameras and the LED light sources according to the design specifications. Adjust the Working Distance (WD) between the lens and the bottles, and ensure the backlight or ring light is aligned perfectly with the camera's field of view."


Step 4: Sensor & Encoder Integration

Action: Install the trigger sensor (photoelectric sensor) and the rotary encoder on the conveyor.


English Explanation: "Fourth, integrate the triggering system. Install the photoelectric sensor to detect when a bottle arrives, and connect the encoder to track the conveyor speed. This ensures the camera triggers at the exact microsecond the bottle passes the inspection zone."


Step 5: Wiring & Power-On Test 

Action: Connect power cables, GigE/USB data cables, and I/O rejector cables. Power on for initial testing.


English Explanation: "Finally, route the cables. Separate the power lines from the data lines to prevent signal interference. Once all connections are secure, power on the system and launch the inspection software to check the live video feed."


Part 2: Critical Precautions

"To ensure the system runs smoothly and avoids false rejects, please strictly observe the following precautions during installation."



Avoid Ambient Light Interference


English: "Industrial vision systems are highly sensitive to ambient light. Avoid installing the equipment near windows or directly under flickering factory lights. If necessary, install a light-shielding hood (darkroom) over the inspection zone."


Lens Protection & Cleanliness


English: "Never touch the optical lens with your bare hands. Fingerprints and dust will severely degrade image quality. Always use professional lens cleaning paper and keep the protective covers on until the final calibration."


Anti-Vibration Measures


English: "Ensure the conveyor belt runs smoothly. If the glass bottles wobble or vibrate excessively when passing the camera, it will cause motion blur and inconsistent inspection results."


Cable Management & Grounding


English: "High-speed cameras require stable data transmission. Do not bend GigE or fiber optic cables sharply. More importantly, ensure the equipment is properly grounded to eliminate static electricity and electrical noise from the conveyor motors."


Rejector Alignment


English: "The pneumatic rejector must be perfectly aligned with the tracking distance calculated by the encoder. If the physical distance between the camera and the rejector changes even by a few millimeters, the wrong bottle might be rejected."
