iQ-vision
System software | Sophisticated inline measurement and inspection tasks
With our iQ-vision system software, you can handle demanding inline measurement and inspection tasks through interactive learning and configuration of the application, without the need for programming knowledge. The innovative memory management system offers top performance even when analysing large data volumes and enables 3D inline inspection and evaluation of complex parts in the production cycle.
Project-specific visualisation: iQ-vision allows the creation of project-specific visualisations for automatic operation. Recorded 2D images, 3D scans and all inspection results can be integrated. Statistical displays help you keep an eye on the quality of your products in real time. The supported multi-touch technology offers intuitive system operation.
Geo module: Results of individual partial measurements can be conveniently linked, calculated and passed on to subsequent measurement tasks by drag and drop in the geo module.
Checklist: The "checklist" element simplifies the management of individual partial inspection tasks. New tasks can be quickly added via the checklist without having to worry about calling up the new measurement task and linking the partial results. Moreover, this function automatically archives measurement results in an SQL database.
Expert mode:
The password-protected expert mode allows the creation, customisation and extension of inspection programmes, evaluations and procedures.
Functional overview
The extensive function library includes powerful 2D and 3D image processing methods. The following is an excerpt of inspection tasks.
- Global inspection tasks: Geometry and shape deviations | Measurement of flatness, warping, dimensions, volumes, distances, bores | Type and position recognition, reading of 1D and 2D codes
- Extended casting-specific inspection tasks: Geometry and shape deviations on external surfaces due to casting defects, core defects, core offsets, core fractures, damage, excessive core parting line burrs | Inspection of component surfaces for damage, cavities, porosity, caking, penetrations, cracks, contamination | Inspection of openings and bores for occlusion, partial occlusion, dimension, spacing, porosity and contamination in bores using 360° objective or borescope
- Extended wheel-specific inspection tasks: Distortion measurement at the outer clamping edge, horn area and cap area | Inspection of pre-machining steps, e.g. sprue pin completely removed | Reading of cast-on barcodes | Determination of optimised initial clamping points | Type differentiation | Valve hole detection and determination of position and rotational orientation
- Customer-specific inspection tasks: Further tasks can be adapted in consultation and after technical prove
