Fast measurement and inspection with the EyeVision software and Sentech GigE cameras

Fast measurement and inspection with the EyeVision software and Sentech GigE cameras

The image processing software EyeVision now supports the GigE cameras by Sentech. With the new

Video Input Channel (VIC) for Sentech cameras, EVT offers now an image processing solution with a

combination of EyeVision and Sentech. And this combination delivers fast measurement and

inspection for the production plant – a feature which is mostly demanded, when having to

detect defects and to reject faulty products in an early stage of the production process

The Sentech GigE cameras are therefore ideal industry cameras with their fast frame rate and high resolution.

The powerful team play between  EyeVision software and Sentech  cameras is not only suitable for fast

inspection flows, such as label printing, but also for solutions for a huge number of image processing applications.

The application areas are in medical engineering, as well as in the pharmaceutical industry,

but also in the automotive branch an in most areas of industrial automation.

And what‘s more, the EyeVision 3 software allows the user, to create inspection programs with only

a few mouse clicks, even without programming skills. The graphical user interface can be handled

intuitively and easily. The EyeVision 3 offers the convenience, that the user can create their own

commands, which can be integrated into the graphical user  interface. And with the GUI-Designer,

the creation of an individual user interface is also very easy.
