There are two different software packages for the A series:
|
 |
 |
|
Multichecker software package
|
|
The "Multichecker" is the workhorse of the A-Series. It has all the common image processing procedures for measuring, position detection, for assembly checking, surface inspection, sorting, part recognition, etc.
|
 |
 |
|
OCR software package
|
|
Character checking also includes special procedures for reading characters and for checking their print quality. Character recognition (OCR) is based on a neural network and thus achieves maximum detection rates even under difficult circumstances.

It's fast
|
|
A-Series Imagecheckers are made for high-speed industrial inspection processes. Their architecture supports parallel processing: while one image is computed, the next one can already be acquired. - Edge detection (200 pixels): 0.7ms
- Grey-scale analysis (256 x 256 pixels): 3.4ms
- Feature extraction (356 x 256 pixels): 8.7ms

Different inspection functions
|
|
If you add up all the inspection elements of the A200, you get over 19,000 possibilities. Further details of the individual procedures can also be found under inspection functions.

|
Setup assistance
|
|
With the setupīs help function, focus, brightness and other parameters can be easily optimized. Now even a novice can adjust parameters that used to require an expert. The I/O monitor and the test output functions simplify testing the connections to external equipment.

 |
|
User-defined screen
|
|
You can specify the results that you want to see displayed on the user-defined screen. You are free to specify which text you want to see displayed. The user can then recognise at a glance whether the measured values fall within the OK range. Limit values can also be changed without having to return to the menu. Enlarge image

|
Position- / rotation
|
|
Inspection can be carried out regardless of the object's position. This checker recognises positional variation and move the inspection areas accordingly. The A200 can also compensate for 360° variations in location.
|
 |
 |
|
Automatic trigger
|
|
This feature eliminates the trigger sensor from the production line for starting the inspection routine. By using a small trigger area, the system continuously checks if an object is under the camera or not. Once an object is detected, the actual inspection starts automatically. Animation (AVI)

|
Displaying the last error image
|
|
It is a great help to display the last error image on the monitor, especially with fast-running machines. The error can be viewed in peace, while the machine gets on with production. Animation (AVI)

 |
 |
|
Filter functions
|
Filter functions such as Erosion and Dilation help to improve image quality. Areas of "noise" can be deleted or divided and areas (gaps) can be combined.
|
 |
 |
|
Bilingual software
|
|
All the software packages are bilingual. Choose the required language via the menu. Currently German-English, French-English, Spanish-English and Italian-English versions are available.
|
 |
 |
|
Backup program
|
|
With the backup program, you have access to all the projects, images and system settings of the Imagechecker. You can save them to a PC, or print out the images for documentation purposes.
