Machine vision

Cameras that inspect, read and locate parts on your line. We select the hardware, program the inspection and connect it to your machines and robots.

Vision inspection station A camera above a conveyor checks each passing part and sorts it as OK or not OK. Result OK
A camera checks every part as it passes and reports OK or not OK to the line.

What vision does on your line

Quality control, object detection and orientation are a must for every production plant. Vision does them on every part, not just samples.

Quality inspection

Check every part for defects, missing components and correct assembly, at line speed.

Position and orientation

Find where a part is and which way it faces, so a robot or machine can pick it correctly.

Code reading

Read barcodes and 2D codes to track parts and batches through production.

Counting and presence

Confirm that the right number of items is present before the next step.

Vision hardware

We supply and integrate the HIKROBOT industrial vision range, from single smart cameras to multi-camera systems.

How we deliver a vision system

One team from the first test to service on site.

  1. Analyse the taskWhat must be checked, how fast, and where the result goes.
  2. Choose the hardwareCamera, lens and lighting matched to your parts and line speed.
  3. Program and integrateInspection program connected to your PLC, robot or reject station.
  4. Commission and supportStart-up on site, training for your team, and service afterwards.

Have a part that needs checking?

Send us photos of the part and tell us what to inspect and at what speed. We will tell you what is possible and propose a system.
