Whilst working alongside machine vision system integrators, supporting end users and specifying systems for industrial applications the first question asked is ‘
Do you really need a colour image?’
Why? Storing and handling data is a challenge and often a fight when working with inspection systems that need to run 24/7. If you can work in mono than we strongly encourage you to. However there are cases where
the colour is the inspection point and work arounds cannot be avoided.
This is where the developers of the
VeriSens at
Baumer, headed by Michael Steinicke, have been busy developing the software of their vision sensor, the
VeriSens. Its reason for being- to handle colour imaging for production line image processing. Their latest software release in the
VeriSens is the ability to work quickly. And in colour. What’s more its intuitive and teachable with an expanding colour library.
For further information on how this is achieved read Michael’s paper
‘Colour Inspection Made Easy: Background information on colour inspection setup’.
