Real-life application examples

Objekterkennung

“Is the glue dot present?“

Early detection through presence check – here with an example of seals for the beverage packaging industry – long before fi nal quality inspection.

Objekterkennung

Position and positional tolerance measurement using geometrical features.

The FA45 processor “learns” the contours and their direction from a picture and responds reliably to deviations.

Objekterkennung

Present or not present?

Shrinkwrapped too deep – or not deep enough? Contour-based object detection with the FA 45 enables almost unlimited applications.
