Fuel pumps must operate trouble-free behind the scenes during the whole life of the automobile. A defect-free surface of the pump tube is a prerequisite for perfect corrosion protection and thus a long life of the fuel pump. To guarantee this, Präschu Umformtechnik has chosen an in-line inspection system from Octum for the automatic surface inspection of the pump tubes.

Safety is the top priority in the pharmaceutical industry, this relates also to the complete logistical chain from the individual packaging to the bundle, box and transport pallet. Besides of 100% identification of all products and packages the correct filling of bundles, boxes and pallets needs to be verified also. The different packaging arrangements need to be checked even if there are no optical features, like imprints, labels or logos, visible on the packaging units and even if, due to mechanical constraints, a perpendicular view on the packaging units is not possible.

Using an innovative method for 3D topography measurement, the Isra Vision 3D DENTscan inspection system is now available for the inspection of different surfaces for small topographical defects such as dings and dents. Such unwanted deformations are difficult to see with the naked eye. Conventional 2D image processing is not capable of handling the task of detecting flat bumps or irregularities in a reliable manner. The only certain way to locate these defects is to use a highly precise measurement of 3D surface geometry.

SAL3D provides easy-to-use, accurate and robust tools for true 3D point cloud acquisition and processing. For easy 2D integration, SAL3D provides ZMap, a flat representation of point clouds, which is a grey level image of floating point values created out of a SAL3D Cloud of Points. The ZMap features include pure proportional relationships between the image coordinates and the metric coordinates.

The modular system comprises a conveyor, an ejector unit, machine vision hardware and software. The system is designed to meet the IP-grades and wash down requirements of the food industry. The following core functions describe the system: Locate the pizza, measure the diameter, thickness profile and edge defects. Based on the measurements the user can set up the sorting criteria in a user friendly graphical user interface. The capacity of an installed system is 7,200 pizzas per hour at a conveyor speed of 0.5 - 1.0 m/s.
