Panasonic 's new Imagechecker PV500 system comprises five processors and fast quad-speed cameras, delivering partial images and true parallel processing and helping the PV500 achieve remarkable checking speeds of just a few milliseconds. This provides a fast, 100% check, part for part - even on rapid production lines involving sophisticated checking tasks. High resolution, detailed image capturing is achievable with up to four CCD matrix cameras, while powerful image checking and precision 'judgment' algorithms ensure that even the smallest errors or variations from the target values are recognised.
