By combining the capabilities of digital gigabit ethernet cameras and dual processing, Applied Vision claims to have made machine vision easier to implement for users in the food and beverage industry.
The Genius Vision Systems use the longer transmission links of gigabit ethernet cameras combined with dual-processing CPU hardware to inspect more production lanes with less cost per lane.
With up to 30 m cable lengths, gigabit ethernet cameras can be mounted farther from the CPU, to increase the number of lines that can be inspected with one CPU. The number of cameras operating from each Genius CPU is further increased by adding dual processing capabilities.
Dual processors allow up to four cameras to be run from one CPU rack.
The additional processing power also allows the company to implement more sophisticated algorithms - the key to detecting finer defects at higher line speeds.
The Genius performs 100% automatic inspections on high-speed lines in applications including inside can, converted end, food end, easy-open end, three-piece can, shell and crown cap and closure.
