visual inspection system with digital camera, PC, and image processing software,
integrated into a space of less than 1 l.
This makes NeuroCheck® Compact ideally
suited for applications demanding maximum flexibility with minimum space
requirements. Typical application areas
are:
• Part identification (by appearance or
labeling)
• Logistics (using plain text, bar code or
DataMatrix code)
• Part gauging
Compatible
NeuroCheck Compact is fully compatible with
NeuroCheck is a registered trademark of DS GmbH
NeuroCheck for standard PCs, giving you
all the benefits of the NeuroCheck concept:
• Versatility through the extensive collection of functions for all application
areas
• Scalability through full software compatibility over a wide range of hardware performance classes
• Interactive graphical development
you the full functionality and
ease of use of NeuroCheck
under Windows. This is a significant advantage compared
to the configuration programs of many other outwardly similar processor
cameras which are often difficult to use and allow access
to only a limited set of
parameters. There are no conversion,
compilation or download processes when
developing applications with NeuroCheck®
Compact. You can optimize the system
directly on the production line using the
familiar graphical user interface.
Complete
NeuroCheck® Compact is a complete standard PC with all the usual interfaces. Additional 24 V digital inputs and outputs and
a LAN interface facilitate easy integration
into modern production and quality control systems, from digital communication
with PLCs to remote-control by networked
OLE clients.
Consistent
Check routines can be exchanged
between all versions of NeuroCheck. An
existing vision system can thus be
expanded at any time without changing
the work environment: you can solve all
your visual inspection problems with the
same software, from stand-alone systems
in the various performance classes of
NeuroCheck® Compact up to complex multicamera inspection systems, establishing a
consistent software and user interface
