EVT presents the new EyeSens series. The EyeSens ZQ vision sensors are much smaller than the usual EyeSens sensor. But despite the miniature design, they are powerful, due to the ZYNQ hardware inside.

Due to the powerful ZYNQ processor with dual Core ARM units, the EyeSens ZQ can solve image processing tasks faster than lesser vision sensors. Suitable applications would be for example:

  • ?Code reading (DMC, QR, Barcode)
  • ?OCR/ OCV
  • ?Color Inspection
  • ?Measurement Technology
  • ?Pattern Matching / Contour Matching for Robot Vision
  • ?Counting Objects

Due to the small size, lightweight and integrated lighting, the EyeSens ZQ is suited for areas where only a small space is available such as on a robot arm.
The EyeSens ZQ comes with EyeSens software and the complete EyeVision software platform. Additionally, the camera offers the option of an integrated FPGA, which is important for the fast preprocessing of image information.

The creation of an inspection program is very easy. With the drag-and-drop graphical user interface, there are no programming skills needed.

The EyeSens ZQ vision sensor platform is very versatile and applicable to various image processing tasks.

Crown cap inspection with the EyeVision image processing software

Quality control is essential in production plants. Also for the food and beverage production. It doesn’t matter if it is packaging, labeling or the cap – zero error production is a necessity. To guarantee this zero error production, the image processing software (such as the EyeVision software) and the appropriate hardware (such as smart cameras) are getting more and more powerful. This leads one to believe that there is already an image processing solution for each machine vision application.

The EyeVision software, for example, contains commands for various measurement technology applications, for pattern matching, for code reading, for object counting or in plain terms for error detection (scratches, holes, cracks, contaminations, printing or color errors, etc.).

Concerning the bottling industry, the EyeVision software not only inspects the fill level, detects if bottles are without caps or checks the correct position of the label; it also offers the opportunity to inspect with a 3D application, that the cap is not askew.

Then if the cap is not in the correct position, it can also mean that the cap does not close tight and the bottle is leaky. And a sealed bottle is an essential requirement for the quality control of a bottling plant. If liquid can leak from the bottle, it can influence the quality and expiration of the product and is therefore inadmissible for customer and bottler. The EyeVision software supports various 3D sensors such as e.g. the EyeScan AT 3D and contains commands for evaluating point clouds and grayscale images. The EyeScan AT 3D has a profile resolution of up to 4096 points/profiles (4k Ultra-HD) and integrated 3D evaluation algorithms with up to 25 kHz and a robust enclosure with IP67 and M12 connectors.
