What is VISIONCHECK 2000K used for? ↑ up
VISIONCHECK 2000K is used to check automatically, in real time and without stopping the line, the quality of parts and products: presence and correct assembly of components, dimensions and geometries, cosmetic and surface defects, reading of codes and text, position and orientation of objects for robot guidance.
Instead of several separate devices (PC, monitor, power supplies, interface PLC), the customer installs a single industrial station, ready to connect up to four cameras, communicate with the line automation and exchange data with the management system.

Strengths of the inspection station ↑ up
15-inch monitor with industrial touch screen
Industrial touch screen monitor with high brightness and contrast, suitable for industrial environments and applications requiring reliability and durability. The monitor is mounted on a support independent of the PC and can be replaced quickly and easily if damaged.
Fanless and diskless architecture
State-of-the-art heat dissipation techniques eliminate cooling fans, both on the CPU and inside the PC. All data and operating system storage media are FLASH SSD-based, so the system is also protected against vibration and mechanical stress.
LED beacon and siren
Fault indicator with high-brightness LED beacon; optionally the station can be fitted with an acoustic siren. The beacon function is customizable and handles both warning and alarm conditions.
Tilting support or suspension arm
Tilting mechanical support for adjusting the inclination of the monitor and controls, for installation on a table, console or shelf. Optional connection to swing arms and suspended control consoles.
Standard display and control interfaces
The system is based on an industrial embedded PC: if the monitor or touch screen temporarily malfunctions, a keyboard, mouse or office monitor can be used to continue production.
Intuitive software, developed for machine operators
The on-board software has been designed specifically for industrial production: the main functions are grouped in easy-to-read overview screens, with intuitive pages that can be managed even by non-expert personnel.
Front keypad
Push-button panel for controlling the main functions without touching the touch screen (cycle start, cycle stop, fault reset, emergency): the operator can work even with gloves or in the presence of liquid contaminants. The front buttons can include an emergency button connected to the plant’s main control cabinet.
Industrial aluminium enclosure
Painted aluminium enclosure with a safety lock so that only authorised personnel have access, complete with seals allowing use even in particularly dusty environments or in the presence of environmental contaminants.
Success stories and possible inspections ↑ up
Dimensional inspection of electronic, electromechanical and mechanical parts
VISIONCHECK 2000K allows dimensional verification of diameters, thicknesses, widths and the position of components of an assembled part, and verification of centre distances with automatic calculation of minimum, maximum and average. Artificial intelligence algorithms enable high-speed inspection even on non-oriented parts; at the same time, integrity or cosmetic inspection with colour discrimination and character recognition (OCR) is possible.
Reading of text and numbers with string verification
The system reads symbols, characters and logos, checking the legibility of the characters or their match with a reference master. Typical examples: checking production and expiry dates, with real-time verification of consistency with the production batch (OCR).
Integrity, position and orientation inspection
Checking the integrity of labels and electronic components is a widely used function in electronics manufacturing. The system also checks the correct positioning and orientation of labels, at the same time as the integrity check and the cosmetic colour inspection.
Inspection of defects, contaminants and dents on continuous products
On continuous products the system detects defects, bumps, dents, colour changes, contaminants and shape irregularities. Inspection is carried out in real time over the entire surface of the product, even when moving or subject to vibration, improving production quality and reducing scrap.
Surface defects and irregularities with distribution analysis
VISIONCHECK 2000K identifies surface defects and irregularities by calculating in real time the size of the defect, its distribution over the surface and any abnormal concentrations per unit area. The product can be rejected based on a sum of weighted parameters: size, location and frequency of the defects.
Dimensional and shape inspection with DXF comparison
In the production of mechanical, metal or plastic components, the system performs dimensional and geometric inspection by comparison with the DXF mathematical model, identifying non-conforming areas and extracting the dimensional features of interest with an inspection report.
Identification of loose objects and orientation check
In industrial automation it is essential to identify the position and orientation of loose objects on belts, containers, boxes or pallets, typically for ROBOT guidance and Cartesian pick & place axes. The system extracts the reference and angular coordinates for direct picking, combining artificial intelligence and vision to recognise the object even with small differences from the learned model.
Colour inspection and discrimination
The system discriminates colours and checks the correct colouring of objects using multi-colour lighting: red, green, yellow, blue, infrared, ultraviolet and white, to highlight product features or contrast changes with incident light.
Profile inspection
Profile inspection is used for the dimensional and geometric verification of mechanical parts: extraction of characteristic dimensions, comparison with a mathematical model or DXF drawing and, from the profile as a point cloud, automatic calculation of widths, lengths, centre distances, thicknesses and diameters.
Small parts
A high-magnification optical system allows very small objects to be inspected: the system can be combined with microscopes, low-distortion optics, telescopic lenses and high-resolution cameras for micrometric inspections on precision mechanical components, electronic circuits and precision assemblies.
Scratches and visual imperfections
Inspection of scratches, blisters, dents and imperfections that impair the appearance of the product, with matrix or line-scan cameras and real-time calculation of the defect size and its distribution. On transparent or semi-transparent products, backlight illuminators highlight scratches and blisters not visible with other techniques.
Position and orientation of small parts
Identification of the position and orientation of small mechanical parts for automatic assembly systems, with selective inspection for quality control, determination of picking coordinates for ROBOTS or manipulators and sorting of parts that do not conform in shape and colour.
