Position Control of Rubbish Bales via B60 Smart Camera and AI
Position Control of Rubbish Bales via B60 Smart Camera and AI
In the recycling industry, waste is often pressed into bales and tied together with plastic wires to prevent it from falling apart again. For the bales to be untied automatically, they must be placed with the wire at the side so that it is visible to the camera. If the wire is not visible to the camera, the bale is wrong way round. A B60 smart camera is used for monitoring. The captured images are compared with reference images via an AI network. This means that the plastic tie can be reliably detected despite bales with different appearance.

Drill Hole Positioning for Wing Surfaces via Machine Vision Camera
Drill Hole Positioning for Wing Surfaces via Machine Vision Camera
In the automated production of wing surfaces in aircraft construction, holes must be drilled on the wings for the rivets. For this purpose, a machine vision camera identifies a reference hole on the wing and determines the center of the hole via the uniVision software. The coordinates are then transferred to the controller, which guides the robot to the position of the next hole to be drilled. The hole in turn serves as a reference hole for the next drilling process. The process continues until all holes are drilled. The high accuracy of the camera ensures that the holes are positioned precisely in relation to each other.

Presence Check of Use By Date on Food Packaging with Smart Camera
Presence Check of Use By Date on Food Packaging with Smart Camera
In the food and packaging industry, the use by date labels on food must be reliably verified. If a product appears in retail outlets without a use by date, the entire batch is often returned to the manufacturer – which results in enormous costs. A Smart Camera is mounted above the conveyor belt at a slight angle to the packaging in order to record use by date labels. This checks whether the use by date is present at belt speeds of more than one meter per second. The position of the label can vary slightly.

Check of Best Before Date on Food Packaging with B60 Smart Camera
Check of Best Before Date on Food Packaging with B60 Smart Camera
In the food and packaging industry, the use by date labels on food must be reliably verified. Batches without this information are rejected, which is extremely costly. To check the best before date label, a B60 smart camera with dome light 90° is mounted above the conveyor line perpendicular to the packaging. It checks whether the correct best before date is present with the OCR module at belt speeds of more than one meter per second. The position of the label can vary slightly.

Guidance of Ultrasonic Probes on Welded Seams with Smart 2D/3D Profile Sensors
After the submerged-arc welding process, the spiral welds on steel tubes must be examined with ultrasonic probes. A smart 2D/3D profile sensor is installed above the ultrasonic probe to enable precise guidance into the center of the tubes. This profile sensor creates a 2D height profile via laser triangulation, which is evaluated directly in the sensor housing with the configurable standard uniVision software. The combination of software and intelligent hardware ensures continuous control of the probes.

Presence Check of Labels on Car Windows via B60 Smart Camera
Presence Check of Labels on Car Windows via B60 Smart Camera
After the labels have been affixed to the left-hand and right-hand car windows, the presence, position and quality of the stickers must be checked for each object. Two B60 smart cameras with integrated image processing software are mounted above the conveyor belt for this purpose. If the sensor detects a pane, it is stopped by a gripper unit. The smart camera checks the presence and quality of the applied label. The position of the applied label can vary slightly. If the smart camera identifies a defect, a signal is output to trigger the ejection process.

uniVision 2.4 Image Processing Platform: Update Makes 2D/3D Profile Sensors Smart
The latest release of the modular uniVision image processing software has it all: While in the past an external analysis module always had to be used to evaluate 2D/3D profile recordings, the smart 2D/3D profile sensors now combine sensor and analysis module directly in the compact housing – thanks to uniVision 2.4. New overlays also provide even more user comfort and high-resolution digital cameras with 12 MP offer an even greater choice in the configuration of vision systems. All the 80 models in the weCat3D series can now also be used as a smart version, with no external analysis module (IPC) required. Both the profile recording and evaluation then take place directly in the sensor housing. The smart 2D/3D profile sensors show their full strength in particular in plants where space is at a premium. “At the same time, the quality of the profile data generated in the smart sensor remains the same. This new version, which is available with a software license update, is therefore ideal for applications with lower scan rates of up to 50 Hz, for example for angle measurement, but also for high profile quality requirements where highly reflective surfaces such as metals need to be reliably detected,” explains wenglor Product Manager, Martin Knittel. “Customers also save the cost of expensive IPCs for applications that do not require high IPC performance. For applications with high performance requirements, the solution with a separate control unit (IPC) is of course still available, offering maximum flexibility and easy interchangeability.” More Visualization Options for Greater Convenience The web-based visualization of the results will now include additional overlays in images and height profiles as part of the uniVision 2.4 release. With overlays such as boxes, cross-sectional areas, rectangles, polygons or images, results such as scanned codes, blobs or threshold images can be displayed directly in the image or profile. Additional texts such as code content, intersection point or angle information can be assigned to the overlays. Static images (e.g. logos) and OK/NOK images can also be displayed. New Digital Cameras With Higher Resolutions In addition to the existing digital cameras with a resolution of either 1.6 or 5 MP, there are now also high-resolution cameras available with 12 MP. Compatible with the C mount threaded connection, the new models are also available in either a color variant (color) or in a black-and-white version (monochrome). “The advantage of these digital cameras is that the very compact design offers a complete range of resolutions from 1.6 to 12 MP – but is used for the same mounting and connection technology,” says Knittel. “The high-resolution 12 MP cameras also display more details with the same visual field and the same focal distance.” There are a total of seven C mount lenses with fixed focal distances between 6 and 50 mm as suitable accessories for these cameras. Control Examples and Output Hold Time Make Operation Easier To make it easier to integrate all uniVision products into external control systems, sample programs will be available in future. There are examples for the Siemens’ TIA portal, Rockwell’s Studio 5000 Logix Designer, Beckhoff’s TwinCAT 3 and Omron’s Sysmac Studio, for example. The examples show integration via various standard interfaces such as PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, TCP/IP or UDP. For all digital outputs of the control unit, it is also possible to easily detect whether new results are available via the output hold time.
