Automatic adaptation to fluctuating lighting conditions

Surface inspection for miniscule scratches,
dents, impact marks, ridges

visiTeach® is a universal and highly efficient measurement and control software package that makes it possible to operate a high-performance and complex image processing and lighting system from a central point. visiTeach® is characterized by more than 30 high-performance measuring tools, gray-level image processing, complex filter functions which also work with polygons of varying rotation, contrast maximization functions, surface inspection, robot control, communication, PLC functions and much, much more. visiTeach®’s graphical user interface is just right for use in the workshop. Users do not need any particular PC expertise, never mind knowledge of programming with a special programming language. visiTeach® allows the image processing system to be linked to existing CAQ and PDA systems. The opportunity to print out inspection reports supports the implementation of automated quality assurance which is integrated into the production process.

Operation of visiTeach®
You enter the various measuring functions, form checks, pattern recognition tasks or surface inspection data in your visicontrol®™ system using clearly and logically structured icons. This tried-and-tested operating method enables very short detection times for new parts and, consequently, the shortest possible set-up times. It goes without saying that each dimension and each test criterion can be assigned separate tolerances. The tolerances entered here are used as criteria for deciding whether parts are good or not.

You then specify what your visicontrol®™ system should do if the dimension it has just either measured or checked is good, bad or above or below the required tolerance. Each dimension that is checked can trigger its own actions. To obtain easily readable and well-documented test sequences, you can use the designations of your sensors, pneumatic valves or sorting flaps for the names of the actions.

You can also deploy extensive PLC functions here for complicated measuring or sorting tasks. The procedure is as easy as it is quick. Screen splitting, time loops, logical operations on your measurement results, counters, printing out messages or displaying them on screen: these and many more functions are at your disposal. Parameterization instead of programming is the state of the art.
