One of the latest products in the vendor’s line of pre-packaged machine vision appliances is iCheck. Designed for installation and operation by manufacturing engineers with little or no previous machine vision experience, iCheck can be used in a range of product and assembly verification applications.
These include detecting missing or incorrect products in a package; verifying that caps and safety seals are in place; verifying the presence, number and size of holes or notches in machined parts; and reading and verifying product bar codes. All required software is resident within iCheck, including such tools as locate, area count, edge count, intensity, line distance, diameter, circularity, angle, bar code and surface flaw. Users access iCheck through a Web browser, enabling them to configure, remotely monitor and debug their applications. iCheck is priced at $3,000.
