3.1.3. The GENIUS Compact-S (Surround/bottom) option
This option is usually integrated in the FSV (‘full surround view’) inspection system. This system combines
bottom camera inspection (S-option) of the product with the standard top inspection (option B, 4 cameras
under an angle). The product will therefore be viewed from all angles.
For practical reasons the bottom cameras are not placed directly underneath the inspection zone, but on
the side of the machine, using mirrors to inspect the underside of the product with help of a background
strip. Together with the CIP system, this will keep the bottom cameras clean at all times.
