CIS Module for AOI

CIS Module for AOI

Line-scan Automated Optical Inspection CIS Module that quickly and accurately detects foreign objects and surface defects in production.

CIS Module for AOI

AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) is a high-speed, high-precision optical image inspection system. It uses machine vision as the standard inspection technology to overcome the high miss rate, low efficiency and high labor cost of manual visual inspection.

AOI combines CIS technology to capture the surface of finished products, then uses image processing to detect foreign objects or abnormal patterns, as a non-contact inspection. Glass, cloth, wafers and other objects on a conveyor can be inspected for surface particles and spot defects, and measured for length, depth and position. Compared with a traditional CCD camera, a CIS module integrates the lens and light source in one body, so it is small, easy to install and maintain, and suits equipment with limited space.

Key Features

  • Line scan image sensor, light source and lens integrated in a single housing
  • 200~1200 dpi high resolution and high sensitivity
  • High scanning speed
  • Red, Green, Blue or White LED light for color and monochrome scanning
  • Focal point at 10~15 mm above the glass
  • Compact dust-resistant housing

Remarks

  • Light source (RGB) is dual-sided.
  • Interface is Camera Link; USB interface is possible on request.
  • Standard model is 400 mm (PX-AML0M-400); other scanning lengths from 200 to 900 mm are available on request.
