Sensor Technology: PC Setup

Checker® vision sensors are simple to set up and operate. Even a first time user can have it up and running in minutes—without training. Simply select the built-in part finding sensor… place inspection sensors on the features to inspect… then check it with Checker!


Four simple steps walk you through setup	The image display simplifies setup by enabling you to see what the sensor sees	Dynamic helpis always available

	Play a filmstrip back in slow motion, or review recent part failures. Like a video recorder, Checker actually records video of parts!	Simple sensor controls are pass/fail–no data or parameters to enter

Checker’s unique inspection sensors provide the most reliable way to inspect your part:

	Brightness sensors look for dark or light areas on the part.			Width sensors measure the width of a part, component, or feature.
	Contrast sensors look for areas on the part that contain both bright and dark areas: date codes, threads, and many other part features.			Height sensors measure the height of a part, component, or feature.
	Pattern sensors understand what your part features look like and lets you know when the feature appears.			Diameter sensors measure the diameter of a part, component, or feature.
	Edge presence sensors verify the presence of edge features.			Pattern presence sensors include “robust” and “fast” modes to verify the presence of patterns.
	Pattern position sensors verify the correct location of patterns and supports 360 degree rotation.			Edge position sensors verify the correct location of edges and supports up to 20 degrees rotation.
	Object position sensors verify the correct location of objects (blobs).

The Checker Part Finding Sensor has three important advantages:

Detects a part by locating a feature on the part, not just an edge
Tracks parts in varying positions along the production line, overcoming imprecise part positioning
Does not require additional sensors to determine if a part is present
