Applications
Which inspection task needs solving? The following pages describe typical machine vision tasks, what matters technically in each case and which components are suitable.
Presence & completeness inspection
Check whether parts, screws, seals, labels or machining features are present and completely assembled.
Barcode reading with handheld readers
Mobile capture of 1D, 2D and DPM codes in production, goods receipt, order picking and dispatch.
Dimensional, position & orientation inspection
Measure parts inline, determine position and rotation, and detect deviations directly in the production process.
OCR & plain-text recognition
Read batch, serial, date and other plain-text markings automatically and verify that they are correct.
Surface & defect inspection
Detect scratches, cracks, burrs, contamination and material or surface deviations automatically.
Industrial quality control
Combine several inspection features - from completeness and dimensional accuracy to surface, code and plain text.
Robot guidance & pick-and-place
Locate parts, determine position and rotation, and guide robots while gripping, aligning and placing.
Traceability with fixed-mount code readers
Read 1D, 2D and DPM codes automatically in the process and identify workpieces across production and packaging steps.
