Other new position tools integrated into Checker perform a variety of other important applications such as inspecting cap height and skew, label position, fill level, web position, and component placement.
New coloured lighting and filter options help optimise image contrast in the inspection process and bring out more of the features you want to inspect regardless of factory conditions, resulting in more consistent and reliable inspections. An example of visible coloured illumination improving results is a user inspecting for the presence of a safety seal with red print over a white cap. Using green light would make the print appear black while using red lighting would remove the red print from the image. In both cases, coloured light creates contrast where normal lighting cannot. The combination of built-in coloured lighting and filters make this the most cost effective solution of its kind.
Checker now offers integrated polarisation windows that remove specula glare from images featuring highly polished or reflective surfaces. Eliminating glare helps create the best possible images and a more consistent inspection result.
The newest model, the Checker 4G7X, delivers three critical functions in a single device. With Checker 4G7X, production managers can simultaneously check for the presence, size and position of features on a single part. Additionally the Checker 4G7X seamlessly integrates into your factory network, communicates with PLCs, and features integrated colour lighting and filters to form the most powerful Checker vision sensor to date.
