Edge-Vision-4.0-CURTAIN

Innovative Oberflächeninspektion für maximale Präzision und Flexibilität

Edge-Vision-4.0-CURTAIN ist ein hochauflösendes Inspektionssystem, das eine zuverlässige Qualitätskontrolle entlang industrieller Produktionslinien gewährleistet. Untergebracht in robusten Stahl-CURTAIN-Rahmen, ist es für eine langlebige Leistung sowohl in kontinuierlichen als auch in Batch-Verarbeitungsumgebungen konzipiert.

Das System erfasst und analysiert detaillierte Bilder von Produkten und Materialien und ermöglicht so eine schnelle und genaue Erkennung und Klassifizierung von Oberflächenfehlern. Das geschlossene Design blockiert externe Lichteinflüsse und liefert so konsistente und präzise Inspektionsergebnisse, selbst unter schwierigen Bedingungen.

Mit hochauflösender Bildgebung, anpassbaren Konfigurationen und robustem Betrieb ist Edge-Vision-4.0-CURTAIN eine leistungsstarke Lösung für Hersteller, die Genauigkeit, Effizienz und Prozessstabilität steigern möchten.

Was können Sie mit dem Edge-Vision-4.0 prüfen?

Das CURTAIN O-Frame bewegt sich entlang der Produktionslinie und verwendet mehrere Sensorköpfe, um die gesamte Materialbreite zu scannen. Im Gegensatz zu Systemen mit Einzelpunktmessung, die Teile des Materials auslassen, gewährleistet das Multi-Sensor-Design des O-Frames eine kontinuierliche, hochpräzise Messung.

Lighting options

Choosing the right lighting technique can improve defect detection, reduce false alarms, and ensure your inspection system delivers consistent, reliable results. The Edge-Vision-4.0-Curtain supports multiple lighting techniques, allowing you to optimize inspection results for a wide variety of applications:

Bright-field lighting

Bright-field lighting illuminates the object directly from above or the front, creating strong contrast on surface features and textures. It’s ideal for detecting surface defects, scratches or dirt on reflective or opaque materials.

Dark-field lighting

Dark-field lighting uses angled or side illumination, causing defects like scratches or bumps to scatter light differently than smooth surfaces. This highlights edges and surface irregularities with high contrast against a dark background, perfect for subtle surface inspection.

Transmission lighting

Transmission lighting illuminates the object from behind, allowing light to pass through transparent or semi-transparent materials. This method excels in inspecting holes, cracks, or inclusions in thin films, glass, plastics, or packaging materials.

AI-powered quality control

As AI is increasingly on the rise, we developed an AI-enabled feature. Based on a dataset of images, pre-classified by the customer, we use artificial intelligence to execute a learning process offline and build a powerful neural network for use during in-line quality control. When inspecting textile, plastic, or battery film in-line, the newly developed software continuously traces product defects and foreign items on the product.

Integrated quality control software

The software environment for Edge-Vision-4.0 is called Connectivity 3.0. It provides a fully integrated quality control solution by combining different measurement tools within the same system. The software offers:

Real-Time Feedback: Monitors and reports on product quality continuously.
Product Acceptance/Rejection: Automatically marks, rejects, or provides visual feedback on defective products.
Dimension Tracking: Tracks dimensions of batch-processed items like panels and boards.
User-Friendly Interface: Controlled from a panel PC or optional stack light, with an intuitive interface for easy operation.

Inline Real-Time Panel Inspection

During production, each panel passes through the Edge-Vision-4.0-CURTAIN, where the system generates a complete 100% fingerprint of the panel. Inspection results are displayed instantly on the HMI and automatically stored for later use and analysis.

This is crucial for panel manufacturing, as it ensures consistent quality and helps detect defects at the earliest possible stage. By securing both process reliability and end-product quality, manufacturers can reduce waste, optimize efficiency, and guarantee customer satisfaction.

Making human-machine interaction as intuitive as possible

The Edge-Vision-4.0 platform is typically controlled from a panel pc or optional stack light (our HMI technology), but is also available in a stand-alone version where only a few knobs enable you to tune the system's behavior. In either of the two cases, our Hammer-IMS Embedded Connectivity 3.0 software will be taken care of processing the vision data. Hammer-IMS Embedded Connectivity 3.0 makes interaction as intuitive as possible. Our platform is available with a PROFINET or optionally OPC UA link as well.
