Abstract

To inspect the peach moth larvae for peach fruit, the X-ray inspection system has been developed. However, it is insufficient to test using that system, so that, to detect the generated hole by on the surface of peach, the surface inspection system is developed. Furthermore, to remove trichome and moth eggs from the surface, an air blower system with rotation mechanism is developed. As a result, 0.2 mm diameter drilled holes on the peach surface can be detected by the inspection camera device at a rate of 94%. We have confirmed that this peach surface inspection system can be executed stably. In addition, it was found that peaches were not damaged by the improved end effector.
