Intelligent measuring device and method for large grinding wheel size

Abstract

Non-destructive testing technology for large grinding wheel geometry is getting more and more attention from the industry. A device based on machine vision technology for intelligent measurement of large grinding wheel size is introduced. After calibrating and measuring the inside and outside radius of the grinding wheel and the thickness of the grinding wheel, intelligent detection is realized through a series of operations such as binarization of the original map, filling, expanding, outline extraction and outline coordinate extraction through hardware design and software programming. The hardware requirements of this design are simple. When measuring the radius of a grinding wheel, the method described in this paper gives the results of radius and height measurements with accuracy up to 5mm and 1mm, respectively. Finally, through repeated measurement experiments, the intelligent detection device of large grinding wheel size established in this paper can effectively solve the problems of field calibration of large grinding wheel and fast detection of inside and outside diameters.
