Industrial Automation

Fully automated production, self-learning machines and robots: Many Industry 4.0 applications rely on machine vision and the depth of detail in image data. High-precision embedded vision systems are used in process and quality control, as well as for measuring object and surface characteristics. Photonfocus develops and produces both sensors for integration into existing systems and ready-to-use solutions with onboard decision-making.

 

Application examples

Photonfocus sensors for welded seam inspection

Welded seam inspection

Welded seams are critical applications in industrial production. Photonfocus sensors and embedded vision solutions enable automated inspection with the highest precision, image resolution and speed – with direct onboard processing of image data on request.

Welding process inspection

Continuous monitoring and documentation allow welding processes to be optimized and errors reduced, with embedded vision systems ensuring efficiency and cost effectiveness. They can be integrated into plants or form the basis of standalone systems with onboard data processing and local decision-making.

Object measurement in 2D and 3D

Complex components in the manufacturing industry are often made up of multiple geometries. Three-dimensional inspection systems are therefore needed to detect even the smallest deviations in production, so that they can be corrected. Embedded vision systems from Photonfocus are ideal for this task, combining different analysis methods to evaluate and interpret image data onboard.

Surface inspection

Surface inspection systems are having to meet increasing quality demands. Deviations in the structure, material defects and other issues must be detected quickly and reliably. This is where the strengths of embedded vision systems from Photonfocus come into play: They create images with the highest level of detail and deliver instant results thanks to onboard interpretation.
