Automator in-line inspection solutions

In-line inspection solutions ensure consistently high quality throughout the production process. Using a camera or scanner, various aspects are automatically checked — from tracking components during production to verifying the presence and readability of codes. The system also checks whether the dimensions of manufactured objects match the required specifications.

Thanks to these automated checks, errors can be detected and corrected at an early stage, improving efficiency and reducing waste. In-line inspections are therefore a key element in quality assurance within modern industrial production environments.

Laser scanners

Among barcode scanners, the laser scanner is the most widely recognized. It uses a laser beam to read the black-and-white spaces in a barcode by measuring reflection. This type of scanner reads only standard linear (1D) barcodes.

2D imagers

2D imagers are equipped with a CMOS or CCD sensor. They capture an image and then analyze it. A 2D scanner can read any barcode type — whether 1D, stacked, or 2D. Even damaged, poorly printed, or low-contrast codes pose no problem for its sharp eye.

Machine vision systems

A camera within a vision system processes an image made up of pixels. Based on this pixel data, the software can inspect, locate, and measure products or codes.

Scanners and vision systems tailored to your requirements

The right lens and lighting setup depend on the specific role the scanner plays in your production process. There’s a wide range of options available, and configuring a 2D scanner often involves a custom setup.
