Lingchen Technology Industrial Computer Applications in the Vision Industry

Case Background
Machine vision is a comprehensive technology that encompasses image processing, mechanical engineering, control systems, optical source illumination, optical imaging, sensors, analog and digital video technology, as well as computer hardware and software technologies. It primarily consists of industrial cameras, light sources, industrial computers, and their corresponding image analysis software systems.
The working principle of machine vision is straightforward; it can be regarded as an industrial robot with a single function. The camera captures images of the objects being inspected, while specialized light sources enhance the features of the target in the images, such as dimensional characteristics and surface defect features. The clearly defined images are transmitted at high speed to the industrial computer, which utilizes specialized image analysis and processing software to compute the features. Based on the computational results, the industrial computer can control actuators to perform actions such as classification, rejection, and alarm signaling.
If we draw a comparison with human capabilities, the camera functions like the human eye, the industrial computer acts as the human brain, the software represents human thought processes, and the actuators resemble human limbs. The machine vision system operates like a person who thinks quickly, acts swiftly, and does not experience fatigue. Compared to manual inspection, machine vision offers numerous advantages.

Lingchen’s Solution

High Performance
Based on user requirements, Lingchen Technology offers the RK620S-Q470 rack-mounted industrial computer, which features the following advantages:
The product is equipped with Intel® 10th/11th generation Core™ i9/i7/i5/i3/Pentium®/Celeron® processors and utilizes the Intel Q470 chipset. This configuration provides powerful data processing capabilities, ensuring robust computational support for customers.

Rich I/O Interfaces and Strong Expandability
The product features six serial ports and thirteen USB ports (6 x USB 3.0 and 7 x USB 2.0), and supports 2 x PCIe x16 (Gen3), 3 x PCIe x4 (Gen3), and 2 x PCI expansion slots. This robust expandability provides significant support for users to connect high-speed network cards and high-performance graphics cards, among other functional modules.
It supports triple independent displays with 1 x VGA, 1 x HDMI, and 1 x DVI, and also includes support for RAID, TPM 2.0, and other functionalities.
Equipped with two Intel Gigabit Ethernet ports, the stable data transmission performance greatly reduces the occurrence of data packet loss during image transmission, effectively preventing false positives and missed detections, thereby ensuring the quality of inspections.
