Combining off-the-shelf cameras, lighting, and software with a Cartesian robot allows microelectrode assemblies to be rapidly inspected.

Eckelmann AG from Wiesbaden, Germany, has modernized the stock receipt of a big warehouse based on powerful standard components.

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…
