Pre-trained AI models make deployment fast and simple, requiring only a few training images. Ideal for standard inspections such as defect detection, classification, assembly verification, and OCR.

• Advanced AI Tools

Configurable, customizable AI models tackle complex inspections with high variability, subtle defects, or highly specific requirements. Ideal for high-precision machine vision in demanding manufacturing environments.

*Available on OneVision-enabled models

• Rule-Based Tools

Industry-proven rule-based vision tools for precise, deterministic applications. Ideal for measurement, blob analysis, pixel counting, pattern matching, 1D/2D code reading, robotic guidance, and logic operations.

• Optimized Imaging Built to Capture Every Detail
• SurfaceFX feature extraction

Advanced feature extraction isolates subtle surface defects while reducing background noise, reflections, and glare. Multi-directional shadow analysis ensures reliable inspections, even on complex or textured surfaces

• HDR+ technology

High-Dynamic Range Plus (HDR+) automatically balances exposure to create uniform, high-contrast images in a single acquisition.

• Enhanced Depth-of-Field: Keeps parts in focus across varying heights, outperforming conventional sensors.
• 80% Faster Exposure Times: Speeds up inspections on ultra-high-speed production lines to maintain throughput.
• No Added Acquisition Time: Accelerated processing delivers enhanced performance without slowing down inspections.
• Multi-Color lighting

Optimized multi-color lighting improves contrast in challenging environments, including low-light conditions, glare, and low-contrast surfaces. One-click color switching makes it easy to capture higher-quality images and achieve more accurate inspections with minimal setup.
