Highest quality in the automotive industry thanks to optical surface inspection

Reliable inspection results and fast sampling rates ensure productivity in the automotive industry. That is why Photonfocus embedded vision systems use 2D and 3D data acquisition for quality control – and all in a single work step. As such, scratches and cracks, color changes and form deviations are all detected reliably and precisely. The result is a 100% inspection without a manual visual check – and therefore optimum efficiency.

Industrial robot with a vision system performs noncontact inspection of vehicle surfaces in automotive production

One special feature of Photonfocus is that the camera data is processed directly in the vision system. This eliminates the need to transfer large quantities of data to external data processing systems, makes integration easier and also ensures high speeds and productivity. Photonfocus develops and produces modular sensors for uncomplicated system integration alongside ready-to-use solutions with onboard decision-making.
