    6.11.2 What Is Flaw Detection? The Flaw Detection function detects fine flaws, burs, missing edges and dirt (, which are generally called as “flaw” in this manual). This function detects flaws based on the difference in the brightness of each segmented area. The Flaw Detection function is suitable not only for detecting flaws on the line edges of the object but also for detecting flaws on the round edges of the object.
  • Page 139 Principle of Flaw Detection function A Flaw Detection checker is executed in either of the following inspection modes. If the PV310 failed to detect any flaw after testing in Differential mode, try to test again after switching to Gray Range mode. It is effective when you let the PV310 inspect the object surface of uneven brightness, but it will take longer time to process the image in Gray Range mode than in Differential mode.
