Abstract

In order to meet the precise measurement requirements of pin height of camshaft holder , the system designed a fixture model based on dual cameras and dual backlight with cross structure, and proposed an algorithm that uses dual end pre-selection to fit the line, and calculate the distance between two lines by average value. The Python program can automatically obtain the pin height data, compare it with the preset error subsequently, and determine whether the work-piece passes the test at last. The experiment shows that the relative error value of the measurement is less than 0.3%, which meets the production requirements of the factory.
