3.2.2 Blemish Sensor
A Blemish type sensor can be used to find flaws on a part (for example, scratches on a disc), or it can be used to make
sure a feature exists on a part. Although verifying a feature is present on a part is more commonly an Area sensor
application, a Blemish sensor may be a better option when dealing with variable materials or uneven lighting. Some
example applications include:
•
Inspections that check for scratches on a part, and reject parts where the scratches are too numerous or larger
than acceptable
• Inspections that check for the presence of some label or marking on a part that may vary in color
3.2.3 Match Sensor
A Match type sensor is used to verify that a pattern, shape, or part in any orientation matches a reference pattern. The
reference pattern is taught during setup. A reference pattern might include alphanumeric characters, logos, or any other
shapes. During an inspection, the sensor checks that each part or package being inspected matches the reference pattern.
Additionally, if there is more than one of the identified pattern, the number expected can be set.
Some example applications include:
• Date/Lot code inspections
• Label inspections
• Part etching inspections
• Part orientation inspections
• Part shape inspections
3.2.4 Sort Sensor
A Sort sensor type that can recognize and sort up to ten different patterns within the same inspection. Each reference
pattern is taught during setup and stored in one of ten pattern memory locations. A reference pattern might include
alphanumeric characters, logos, or any other shapes, and the pass criteria can be set for any or all of the patterns.
Some example application include:
• Identify and sort parts on a production line
• Ensure that several different parts are present in a package
3.3 Multiple Sensors
Firmware versions 1.2.0 and newer include multiple sensor functionality. Each part inspected can now use multiple sensors
to inspect more than one feature. Up to 30 such inspections can be created and stored on the device.
3.4 Multiple Inspections
The iVu Plus supports multiple inspections that facilitate storing and controlling up to 30 inspections of different Sensor
Types.
