Automated Inspection Devices
Firstsight Vision offers Automated Inspection Device, VA21. It offers a new approach to smart imaging for machine vision applications. The VA21 is an automated inspection device whose main use is for control and quality assurance in manufacturing. This compact unit contains all the processing power in a rugged, DIN mountable enclosure, instead of the camera head. This allows much smaller cameras to be used, while the unit itself can be readily integrated into factory environments alongside other automation controllers. The VA21 can accommodate 1 or 2 cameras and there is no software to install. Application set-up software is pre-installed and ready to run and can be accessed through a standard web-browser. Ethernet communication facilities supplied as standard, the system can be controlled from nearby or the other side of the world. The VA 21 features a powerful embedded processor that ensures fast inspection times. With extensive hardware support for part-in-place detection; strobe illumination; camera trigger; and part counting for delayed pass, fail and rework part sorting, the need for an additional plc is virtually eliminated. The unit is fully equipped with industrial grade inputs and outputs and standard connections are provided for PC peripherals. Any type of standard monitor may be used. The standard software package for the VA21 includes two applications called iNspect and iLabel which address a diverse range of inspection needs. iNspect is a general inspection tool that can be applied across a wide range of industries, including automotive, packaging and pharmaceutical. The underlying toolset includes capabilities for positioning, measuring, identification and flaw detection. iLabel is an inspection tool designed specifically for the packaging industry.
