Using the new camera sensor from ipf electronic, image processing solutions which are suitable for industrial applications can be realized within a short period of time and without a great deal of previous knowledge. In a compact design, the optics, illumination equipment, image acquisition unit, image processing unit and processing interfaces are 'packed' into the small device. Even complex testing jobs can be quickly realized using the simple user-friendly operation. The camera sensor is especially suitable for jobs which do not depend upon testing which is accurate to dimension, as e.g. checking completeness, checking presence, checking a position/location as well as differentiation of types. In an area of the image measuring 122 x 78mm which is to be surveyed, the testing speed is up to 40 parts per second. The OC64 series is available for a 150, 300 und 450mm operating distance as well as with red illumination, infra-red illumination and blue illumination. The camera sensor has a high-performance processor which is specially optimized for image processing jobs as well as a 720 x 480 pixel image sensor. The precision optics and high-performance illumination are optimally co-ordinated for the respective operating distances. For communication, the sensor integrates USB, RS232 and digital interfaces. Connectable via digital inputs, the opti-check OC64 can administer several programs, each with extensive testing jobs. Apart from a ready output, there are three more digital outputs which can be freely selected.
