At a chocolate manufacturer, the shape, height, number and position of packaged chocolates must be verified. Three-dimensional inspection is required to check all of these features simultaneously.
Application Solution
The SICK IVC-3D Smart Camera is a reliable solution for the type of product verification involved in this application. It is the first system in the world that combines the flexibility of intelligent cameras and the performance of high-speed 3D verification in a robust industrial application. The IVC-3D, which requires only a PC or a laptop for setup, operates either autonomously or as part of a production network. Once an object is checked, the information can be sent directly to a PLC or a handling device and monitored over Ethernet.
Benefit
The IVC-3D provides fast, reliable inspection of the chocolates. It can read 5,000 profiles per second at a height resolution of 0.4 mm and inspects 3 boxes per second. It is easy to program and integrate, and provides a contrast-independent check. As a result, complaints and expensive returns can be drastically reduced.
