Machine Vision

More than cameras

Sensors and industrial cameras have opened up new perspectives in the automation of production lines. Blumenbecker's machine vision systems are used for applications such as:

  • measurement (measurement of specific product dimensions, volume measurement, etc.)
  • product inspections (checking the presence and correct position of all parts of the assembly, e.g. during assembly)
  • product identification (barcode and 2D code reading, product type identification based on shapes, sizes and other features)
  • product sorting (e.g. sorting of packaged chocolates by type of packaging, etc.)
  • robot navigation (determining the position of the product and using its coordinates for palletizing, welding, gluing and other activities)

Sensors and industrial cameras are often used for quality control. They ensure high product quality, strengthen customer confidence in products and reduce complaints.

Important parameters of industrial cameras

Many of today's industrial cameras are equipped with their own processor and the ability to communicate over industrial guidelines (profinet, ethernet I/P, DIO,...). Thus, there is no need to use a computer for common applications. This type of camera is called a "smart camera". There is a great variability in the choice of the appropriate camera type (2D, 3D, mono, color, resolution, size, communication options,...) and accessories (lighting, filters,...). For specific applications, the use of a camera and an industrial computer is common.

For special applications where, for example, it is difficult to distinguish all parts of the product, different types of cameras can be combined (e.g. a 3D profiler with a 2D colour camera).

Manufacturer-independent solution from Blumenbecker for greater reliability and speed

The reliability of measurement/detection/identification depends not only on the quality and resolution of the cameras or sensors, but also on the quality of the software that processes the data.

Blumenbecker has developed proprietary software for its machine vision systems that maximizes sensor and camera performance.

The software supports the identification of:

  • Geometric features (e.g. correct length of a bar) 
  • Colour features (e.g. correct paper hue) 
  • Position data (e.g. correct location of a part) 
  • Temperatures (e.g. during glass production)

Our services

Consulting

We start our relationship with an in-depth consultation in which we analyse your requirements and identify areas where we see room for improvement. Next, we design and configure the solutions to meet your requirements while maximising their value to you.

Planning and Construction

We plan and develop your industrial image processing solution in-house so that it meets your individual requirements and you can be sure that you will get the right result.

Programming

We program all the systems ourselves so we can accurately and precisely fulfil your special requests and preferences. Our software engineers are intimately familiar with all standard programming systems and can also develop custom software with standardised interfaces.

Commissioning

Once installed, the systems are commissioned by our specialists and project engineers. They monitor the start-up process, test availability and optimise processes to get the solution quickly integrated into your production process. Our services also include shift supervision by our engineers and the training of operators and maintenance personnel.

After-sales service

Our partnership does not end with commissioning and start-up. We continue to offer a plant maintenance service and will undertake software and hardware modifications as and when needed for the production process.

We support your machine vision system over the complete life cycle of the plant, up to maintenance and future extensions. In case of technical problems we offer you a fast 24/7 service.

Modernisation

We modernise your existing production facilities by integrating machine vision solutions and thus significantly increase your efficiency and production quality.

EPLAN P8

EPLAN Electric P8 is a CAE software solution for project planning, documentation and management of electrotechnical automation projects. It is based on an innovative platform technology that enables horizontal and vertical integration in engineering.

International standards such as IEC 81346, ANSI, JIC, NFPA, GB or the Russian GOST are also supported. Because we work with EPLAN P8 / EPLAN Pro Panel for all projects, compatibility with your professional standards is guaranteed at all times.
