• Other inspection equipment and devices

It is resistant to shock/vibration, so it can be installed anywhere! Various wavelengths of reading light sources can be incorporated.

The "Contact Image Sensor Appearance Inspection System" can capture images without distortion at any part of a wide workpiece, including the center and edges. When comparing the captured images, the images taken with a line sensor camera showed distortion at the edges of the field of view, while the images taken with the contact image sensor camera had no distortion at the edges. Additionally, because it reads in close contact, there is less loss of light and reduced power consumption. 【Features】 ■ High uniformity of resolution for image inspection across the entire width of the workpiece ■ Reduced light loss and power consumption due to close contact reading ■ Capable of incorporating various wavelength reading light sources (visible light / ultraviolet / infrared) ■ Resistant to shock and vibration, allowing for flexible installation locations *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Visual Inspection Equipment

Introducing a super high-resolution image processing system using a 16K line sensor camera with a master registration method!

The "Pattern Appearance Inspection System" captures ultra-high-resolution images using monochrome/color line sensor cameras (up to 16K) and accurately detects various defects such as open, short, chipping, foreign objects, and unevenness. The inspection target pattern contour is enclosed with straight lines, and the master shape is registered to individually inspect the inside and outside of the contour. Detection intensity can be set individually. Depending on customer needs, it can also be provided as a tabletop manual inspection device or an automatic inspection device equipped with loaders/unloaders. 【Features】 ■ Adopts a master registration method ■ Captures good product work images and registers varieties in the master ■ Multiple registrations possible (learning function) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The interior of the container can be inspected non-destructively, non-contact, and without water! Things that are not visible to the human eye can be visualized.

The "Near-Infrared Image Appearance Inspection System" can penetrate low-density packages, allowing for internal image inspection. We select suitable cameras, lighting, and other equipment that match the imaging target and inspection purpose. This is provided along with the inspection device and inspection software. Due to differences in components, the appearance changes, making it easier to identify. 【Features】 ■ Penetrates low-density packages ■ Allows for internal image inspection ■ Enables non-destructive, non-contact, and non-wet inspection of the container's interior ■ Appearance changes due to differences in components ■ Makes identification easier *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Visual Inspection Equipment

It is equipped with a high-precision pass/fail judgment function to match measurements of various targets such as "shape, length, and pitch."

The "Dimension Measurement System" analyzes images captured by a camera to measure the dimensions of objects. It registers measurement methods and measurement points as standards (values) in advance, allowing for instant dimension measurement while reducing measurement errors caused by manual work. As for the measurement image and principle, it first detects the boundaries of objects in the image. From the detected edges, it performs approximation processing for various shapes and measures dimensions through various geometric calculations. Depending on customer needs, it can also be offered as a tabletop manual inspection device or an automatic inspection device equipped with loaders/unloaders. 【Features】 ■ Simplifies the dimension measurement process for industrial products ■ Analyzes images captured by a camera to measure object dimensions ■ Registers measurement methods and measurement points as standards (values) in advance ■ Enables instant dimension measurement ■ Reduces measurement errors caused by manual work *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
