Assessment of Cutting Edge Defects Using a Vision Method

The paper discusses a vision method of assessment of laser cutting edges and surfaces of metals. It presents an analysis of the defects that occur at the edges and surfaces of components cut out in laser technology. It discusses in detail examples of defects, their causes, and methods of preventing their occurrence in the cutting process. The paper presents a vision method for the identification and assessment of defects based on selected examples. It also discusses a method of constructing a three-dimensional image of a product, issues related to the resolution of the vision system and the resolution of laser beam analysis, and methods of image analysis.
