Application example

Automated Manufacturing and Assembly of COVID-19 Test Kits

The task

To streamline the production of COVID-19 test kits, automated assembly of the tests is necessary. The test kits consist of several components. To automate their assembly, the rotation direction as well as the prone/ spine position of the individual parts must be determined. Only then can the kits be correctly assembled by the machine.

The challenge

The components of a COVID-19 test kit vary in color and shape.
To distinguish between the different variants, the sensor must be flexible. Additionally, a short evaluation cycle time is necessary to evaluate as many objects as possible per minute.

Our solution

The Vision Sensor, VISOR® Object, provides the necessary flexibility to reliably detect the individual components. With its broad portfolio of detectors, it can accurately determine the position and alignment of components. The high computing power of the camera makes it possible to inspect multiple objects per second. Job changes are also available to control different variants with the same hardware.

Your advantages

  • User-friendly system with a wide range of functions that can be selected at the touch of a button.
  • A suitable version of the VISOR® is available depending on the application requirements.
  • The VISOR® software offers easy-to-use detectors for position monitoring.
  • The high computing performance ensures evaluation in a few milliseconds.
