Hardware Highlights
Compact and industrial
With their dimensions of just 130 x 59 mm, AX30/AX40 Imagecheckers help you
realise the growing demand of downsizing equipment.They permit space saving
DIN-rail installation in a switching cabinet or direct mounting at the inspection site.
All interface connectors are located on the front side, which makes it easy to install
and service the systems. Furthermore, they have an impressive record in industrial
safety, which results also from the fact that they do not employ any mechanical parts
such as fans or hard disks.
Precise and reliable
Being the successors to our successful A-Series Imagecheckers, AX30/AX40 systems
inherit proven image-processing technology built up over many years. These highprecision devices ensure advanced quality inspection of your products, since they
include colour data in the evaluation process. They are designed as stand-alone
devices with a proprietary operating system and a dedicated inspection firmware.
The systems are ready for operation immediately after power up and can provide
inspections 24 hours per day, 365 days a year.
Powerful dual camera inspection
AX Series Imagecheckers include a dedicated 32-bit RISC CPU that secures a highperformance inspection level. Besides the short response time, the systems enable
very powerful inspection algorithms, such as those used for the newly developed
contour matching. They detect objects reliably, even if they partially overlap or if
ambient light changes.
AX30/AX40 process the images of up to two colour CCD cameras in parallel and
output inspection results after a few milliseconds.
