Industrial Applications

1. High-Speed Beverage Bottling Label Inspection

In high-throughput bottling plants, checking label alignment, print quality, and barcode readability is critical. The 97.2 fps frame rate and global shutter of the FH-SCX05 allow for distortion-free, crisp image capture of fast-moving bottles on continuous conveyors.

Problem Solved

Eliminates motion blur on high-speed lines, preventing false-rejects caused by unreadable barcodes or skewed label artifacts.

2. Electronic PCB Component Color Verification

Surface-mount technology (SMT) inspection stations require precise color imaging to ensure correct polarity marks, component presence, and solder joint quality. The 5.0 MP color CMOS sensor captures fine details down to the 3.45 µm pixel size.

Problem Solved

Distinguishes subtle color differences in wire insulation or capacitor markings that monochrome systems miss, significantly reducing assembly defects.

3. Precision Machined Parts Dimensional Measurement

Manufactured automotive components require exact dimensional tolerance checks. The C-mount flexibility allows the use of specialized telecentric lenses, while the high 2448x2048 pixel resolution enables high-accuracy non-contact measurements.

Problem Solved

Replaces slow manual caliper checks with automated sub-millimeter visual measurement, removing human error and maintaining production velocity.
