Innovative Automated Web and Sheet Inspection Systems - Vision Beyond Defect Detection

Presented by Dr. Jochen G. Koenig, Schenk Vision

Modern web inspection systems now deliver much more. Enabled by recent advancements in LED illumination-technology and very high speed cameras, the newest systems reach much higher image resolutions. Because of this, particularly for small defects, advanced classification becomes possible thus elevating mere detection into reliable identification of the root cause. Scan rate synchronized light switching technology, one of the most recent innovations few systems master, provides simultaneous acquisition of the sheet at multiple illumination modes with a single bank of cameras which significantly increases detection and classification performance without the traditional high cost of multiple camera banks.
