Application Reports

Jürgen Bastek, Manager of Maintenance, Volkswagen AG, Germany:

"The fully automated inspection of our Power & Free installation guarantees a smooth production process. A product that was quick to install and would provide a reliable trolley wheel inspection was important to us. We wanted to proactively detect material fatigue to avoid corrective measures. Costly production downtimes are a thing of the past."

Different camera systems monitor a variety of parameters and criteria.

Camera-based solutions for quality control and process optimization

PSI Technics solutions facilitate and improve positioning, distance measurement and manufacturing processes on a daily basis for broad range of international industries. For example, 2D and 3D cameras or smart cameras identify defective products during the early stages of the manufacturing process – considerably cutting costs and improving line production as well as automated production processes. Advanced digital image processing replaces manual inspections and quality control in manufacturing processes.

Early detection of defects, automatic redirection of damaged products and an optimized workflow – Digital camera technology guarantees safe, reliable production processes, contributing to quality and process optimization.

2D or 3D? Your business decides.

Depending on your application, 3D cameras will yield better results, while 2D cameras may be adequate for tasks in a different environment.

We provide expert advice andare committed to finding the ideal solution for your business.

Smart Camera Process Integration

Cameras with integrated image processing electronics (smart cameras) and image processing software for external PCs are available for a wide range of applications and monitoring tasks. The ideal system for each application depends on the type of application. All camera systems are suitable for use in different industrial sectors and have proven their worth in tough industrial environments

Smart camera with integrated image processing electronics
The smart camera's internal image processing technology processes and transmits image data to a process monitoring system. When using a smart camera, no additional external computer is required. This is especially helpful for applications that do not lend themselves to the installation of external PCs in the immediate vicinity of production facilities, or installations which require complex or expensive cabling. The smart camera contains no serviceable parts or components that are prone to interference, such as switchboards or data cards, making it an ideal and inexpensive solution for industrial environments.

  

Process Integration PC-based Camera Systems

Cameras with PC-based image processing
Cameras with PC-based image processing transmit image data to an external computer which processes the data. Cameras with PC-based image processing are ideally suited for complex installations or application specific-conditions that require additional processing power. The external computer can control multiple cameras simultaneously and may perform additional tasks such as saving or transferring data.

In addition, PC processors can be selected based on the required computing and image processing time. Choosing a powerful PC with increased computing power can significantly speed up image processing time. Moreover, the choice of an adequate operating system allows for efficient programming. Computing tasks can run in parallel and in real-time. The graphical user interface enables a flexible design and can be customized to the client's needs.
