ABSTRACT

In terms of quality management in the metal machining industry today, most of the defects are classified and judged by the human eye. The decision of the human eye will be affected by the external environment and mental fatigue problems, and small defects will also cause misjudgment due to lack of experience. In this research, aimed at the titanium metal spacer ring inside the hard disk inspection, surface scratch defects are identified. Because of the different depths of scratches and placement angles, shallow scratch features cannot be identified. To fully capture the defect features, referring to the distribution concept of bright field and dark field, a set of the lighting system with a single light source and motor control is designed, which can acquire multiangle images at one time. Due to the large difference in the shape and intensity of scratches, it is difficult to detect defects using the traditional digital image processing method. In this study, the deep learning network architecture was used. First, the images were pre-processed to reduce the interference of noise, and the number of image data increased through data augmentation. Then, the FasterRCNN and Unet models are used for training and prediction. The final experimental results showed that the success rate of defect identification was 95% and 82%%, respectively.
