Machine Vision Lighting Solutions for High-Speed Inspection
ProPhotonix provides machine vision lighting solutions for your inspection needs.
Inspection of products throughout the manufacturing process is one of the main applications of machine vision systems. Inspection allows manufacturers to ensure that their products conform to the exact specifications to which they were originally designed.
Conformity of shape, colour and dimensions can all be checked using machine vision systems. In this way inspection systems can improve the quality of finished products, increase throughput and reduce wastage and costs.
Good machine vision illumination is the key to a successful inspection system and can make significant differences in terms of the throughput of the machine vision systems and the level of detail that can be inspected.
ProPhotonix provides a range of LED and Laser products and will work with you to optimize your inspection system.
Defect Detection
Machine vision systems are also extremely useful in detecting defects during the production process. ProPhotonix' UV and IR Cobra Slim machine vision LED lighting products allow the detection of defects that would not otherwise be visible. Defects caught early can reduce production losses, improve quality and therefore increase customer satisfaction.
In this type of inspection process the machine vision system is used to look specifically for a flaw meaning that the normal result for this system would be that no features are present. Defect detection can be of discrete items such as food items or of web materials like sheet metal, foil, plastics or paper.
ProPhotonix products are used to detect cracks within wafers and our UV products are used in food processing to look for the presence of certain funghi which react to UV light. They are also used to look for defects in plastics.
Cobra Slim offers high brightness and uniformity both of which will contribute to the speed of defect detection.
Millions of products every day are inspected by systems using ProPhotonix machine vision lighting solutions. These include: solar panels, semiconductor wafers, food, glass, foils, paper and many more.
