Illuminators

View Through

The View-Through system is an innovative machine vision configuration that concentrates two separate inspection stations into one compact solution.

Ideal for applications with space restrictions where two or more sides of an object need to be inspected and space is limited.

  • Allows two separate one-side inspection stations to be concentrated into a single, compact two-side inspection station.
  • Compact configuration to simultaneously inspect both sides of an object.
  • Uses two dome or flat-dome illuminators.
  • Features two active View-Through backlights.
  • The optical properties of the active backlights can change depending on the power supply.
  • View-Through active backlights that act as optically transparent windows or uniform diffusers depending on the power supply.
Standard configuration:

The standard configuration includes:

  • 2 dome/flat dome illuminators. These provide direct/diffuse lighting on the inspected surface.
  • 2 View-Through backlights. These provide excellent contrast against the background.
  • 2 cameras that can be operated with lenses. These capture the images.
  • 1 four-channel LED controller. Activates the cameras and controls the 4 illuminators.

The acquisition process consists of two consecutive phases called phase-1 and phase-2. In both phases, the action elements are coloured and the non-active elements are transparent.

Phase #1 :
The left camera captures the image taken with the left flat dome and the right View-Through backlight. These illuminators are now active and the top side of the piece is imaged.

Phase #2 – acquisition of the bottom part of the plastic cap:
The right camera captures the image taken with the right flat dome and the left View-Through backlight. These illuminators are now active and the bottom side of the piece is imaged.

The time shift between Phase #1 and Phase #2 is typically 1 ms. and is so short that the two consecutive acquisitions can be considered almost simultaneous.

  • Allows the inspection of two or more sides of an object within a limited space.
  • Suitable for high-speed inspections.
  • Industrial automation: The View-Through system can be used to inspect electronic components, manufactured products, mechanical components and more, improving quality control and optimising the production process.
  • Packaging: the View-Through system is used to inspect objects, seals, packaging and other product characteristics to ensure compliance with quality standards while minimising packaging errors.
  • Quality control: The View-Through system is used for quality control of moving products and materials.
