Sentinel
Sentinel Applications
The Sentinel cameras are capable of many different types of inspections because they are available with both are area array and linear sensors.
Module

Here, the Sentinel is inspecting a module that is part of a medical assembly.  It is verifying that this module is incorrect, since it has an improper piece on the left.

Metal frame

In the image above, Sentinel is inspecting a metal frame for assembly and drilling.  green spots indicate the proper alignment and whether there is a hole or a rivet in the proper place.

Silicon wafer

A wafer is inspected for liquid droplets in the above image.  Using a proprietary algorithm, the linear Sentinel identifies droplets on the surface.  This image shows the entire Image Viewer window on the included software.

pills

Here, packages are inspected for missing or damaged pills.  Sentinel centers the product and accomodates tilt, then analyzes each blister for product.

cd

Sentinel is analyzing printable CD-ROMs for damage.  In this image, Sentinel detects scrub marks on the CD and rejects it.

can lid
Here, can lids are inspected for contamination and missing seals.  This image shows three different areas of contamination on the lid.

bottle caps

Sentinel examines bottles for the presence or absence of caps.  If a cap is missing, as in the image above, the camera rejects the product.
Applications

Film Line

Both the Sentinel and the Web-i are suited for inspections of many different materials and objects.  On this page, we show a few of each.  Above, a Web-i inspects plastic film using a linear light source.


White papers are available for the following types of inspections, but these are by no means the only inspections our cameras are capable of:

Web-i
Web-i Applications
The Web-i cameras can be used in just about any roll product inspection.  Above, a Web-i inspects glass pieces on a moving line.  With just a change in setup, the Web-i can easily be configured to inspect many different products.

Glass Stone

This image is of a stone in glass captured by the Web-i.  The stone is in the middle of the image.  The Web-i can display image in either monochrome or false color.

Foam

The image above is of a foam product imaged by the Web-i.  Defects in the foam (holes) are visible as the dark blue areas.

Textile

Here, the Web-i detects a pulled thread in a woven material.  The image is in false color and in the camera's rate-of-change processing.

plastic crack

The Web-i image is of a crack in heavy gauge plastic film, as seen in rate-of-change processing included with the camera.

nonwoven string

The Web-i is capable of operating on very high-speed lines.  In the above image, a "string" defect in a nonwoven material is captured at a speed of 3,000 feet per minute.

bug

The Web--i is analyzing laminated film for the presence of contamination and other defects.  In this false-color image, an insect has been caught between the layers.

wrinkles
Here, the Web-i detects a series of wrinkles in a fiber-backed plastic product.
