Presence check of the best-before date on the neck of the bottle

Industrial filling line with a series of glass bottles on a conveyor belt during a high-speed vision inspection.

The precise inspection of the best-before date at high speed places high demands on image processing – especially when changing products. This article describes how the combination of a powerful control unit, machine vision camera and optimized print positioning creates stable contrast even in dark liquids, enabling reliable high-speed control.

How can scratches and dents on large metal surfaces be reliably detected?

The picture shows a blue laser line on a metal surface.

2D/3D profile sensors enable the precise detection of scratches, dents and other irregularities on large metal surfaces – even in the presence of movement and reflective materials. They deliver micrometer-precise measurements, cover wide areas and ensure reliable quality control in industrial production.
