ECKELMANN uses high-resolution Gigabit Ethernet cameras and HALCON to inspect solar-cell wafers with an accuracy of 50 µm and a throughput of approx. 0.8 s per wafer – up to 3,600 wafers per hour.

Combining a sophisticated gripping mechanism with machine vision allows packing systems to handle disparate objects.

The Tekniker Foundation uses HALCON and 2D/3D cameras for high-speed inspection of percussion caps. Defects such as dents, misalignment, or missing caps are reliably detected – up to 216,000 units per hour.

Sensata Technologies uses HALCON to precisely determine the "snap point" of bimetallic thermal protectors. A GigE camera captures the movement of the bimetal disks in a special oven. HALCON algorithms filter the images, locate the disks, and detect t…

Seidenader uses HALCON and high-speed cameras to inspect coffee capsules before and after filling. Damaged or improperly sealed capsules are detected within seconds and automatically rejected.

NP Plastics in the Netherlands manufactures small plastic rings used in binder closing mechanisms. To increase throughput and improve quality, the company deployed a machine vision system with two AVT FireWire cameras, LED illumination, and HALCON so…
