Keyence Corporation of America, a supplier of sensors, measuring systems, laser markers, microscopes and machine vision systems worldwide, has released the IX Series, a new image-based laser sensor. By combining a camera with a laser, users can now determine part position prior to performing laser inspection, reducing hardware and installation costs.
The IX Series was designed to tackle four types of inspection situations: Unrepeatable target locations, reference height checks, low-contrast targets and inspections of multiple areas at once:
By identifying the target part's position and adjusting inspection accordingly, users are saved from creating mechanical solutions to orientate parts prior to inspection.
Performing reference height checks with a single sensor greatly simplifies inspections that previously required multiple sensors and complex calculations.
Because the IX Series is laser-based, low-contrast inspections such as height of a black component on a black background are easily determined.
The IX Series is capable of inspecting multiple locations at once, saving hardware and installation costs.
