Optical inspection systems allow manufacturers to ensure products are the precise color customers desire, whether that product is construction materials and accessories, chemicals, or print documents. However, most optical inspection systems today are based on simplistic three-channel RGB (Red-Green-Blue) vision technology.
To give manufacturers precise color checking, Chromasens has introduced a highly-advanced vision-based inspection system that achieves highest color accuracy by incorporating spectral image capture of pixels in twelve individual color channels -- instead of just three. Being vision based, it also allows measurements everywhere within the field of view of the camera.
The new fully-automated system combines the Chromasens truePIXA multichannel line scan camera with its Corona II broad-band line light, powered by software that mimics the functionality of a traditional spectrophotometer. Because each component is modular in design, the systems can be customized so that any color inspection requirement can be meet.
