At its booth, Kistler will show the new Multicapture Device in the KVC 821 optical quality inspection system for the first time. Thanks to eight mirrors arranged in a circle, the camera station captures the entire lateral surface of the test part. Deformations such as scratches or dents are thus detected without the parts having to be mechanically rotated. This means that parts with high-quality requirements can be inspected in a single pass, allowing cycle times of up to 400 parts per minute.
Kistler generates high-resolution test images with one camera per mirror to ensure that even the smallest defects are visible, and identifies them with their own image processing software KiVision. With the help of algorithms based on artificial intelligence, the software also detects previously unknown anomalies. Kistler will demonstrate how different requirements in optical quality assurance can be handled by showcasing its complete imaging portfolio. The KVC 821 can be equipped with 2D, 2.5D as well as 3D inspection methods.
