Our powerful Vision-Systems realize complex optical inspection tasks.

testing and sorting machine

Powerful Vision-System

Our multi-sensor capable vision systems have the capability of operating multiple cameras in parallel, or serially, and having very short cycle times allowing high part throughputs to be achieved. The multilingual software is very easy to use, with a comprehensive function library for 2D as well as 3D applications and enables detailed data management (e.g. statistical analyses).

Jenoptik vision systems can be integrated into machines, systems and tools, used in laboratory setups, or form the heart of complete inspection and sorting systems. They are fully capable of communication via multiple types of interfaces. They are indispensable in process automation and enable tool and process monitoring as well as processand quality control.

Typical inspection tasks

  • High-precision external contour inspection of components
  • Position detection
  • Presence, completeness, and position control
  • Attributive tests

Measuring computers and accessories for your Vision-Systems

Our vision systems are PC-supported

Our vision systems are PC-supported devices that run under the Windows 10 operating system and previous versions. Their multi sensor capability allows the use of the cameras, or camera combinations, best suited for the respective applications, i.e., both monochrome and color cameras and cameras with different sensor formats and resolutions.

Other components can also be integrated into the equipment, such as light barriers, triangulation sensors, peripheral controllers, etc..

The use of tele-centric measuring lenses and application-optimized illumination is the prerequisite for achieving high inspection accuracy.

Artificial intelligence used for optical inspection

Artificial Intelligence
Many inspection applications are difficult, if not impossible, to solve with conventional tools of image processing. There are two main reasons for this:
  • Classification - recognition of predefined parts or properties
  • Anomalies - detection of any deviation from an ideal

Both challenges can be solved using artificial intelligence – or so called deep learning (machine learning). In contrast to the standard tools of image processing, no test job tailored to the specific article is created, instead a learning procedure is run using a large number of real images.

The learning process takes place on a separate training station, while the deep learning module for 100% inspection is integrated into our vision software. Supported by a power graphics cards, even fast applications can use the tools of artificial intelligence.

Grouping of the parts in defined classes

  • Example classification of known defects
  • Prerequisite availability of a sufficient number of parts per defect class

Detection of any deviations (anomalies/defects) from a trained ideal part

  • Training on the basis of faultless parts, recognition of defects that were unknown at the time of training

Testing and sorting systems for the optical inspection of small parts

Optical inspection of manufactured components is handled by introducing pre-orientated parts into the system individually. Once introduced, the parts are optically scanned and then sorted based on the programmed criteria. For optimal performance, systems require the appropriate technical solution for handling and control – with the vision system becoming the heart and soul of the inspection and sorting solution.

Our inspection and sorting systems are for 100% inspection of small parts. Typical inspection features are the external visible geometry (diameters, radi, lengths, angles, detection of burrs, chipping, chips, etc.), but also attributive criteria (surface defects, color, etc.).

Components of our inspection and sorting systems consist of bunkers, conveyors, transport devices, sorting and packaging stations, and vision systems utilizing one or more camera solutions.

An essential performance criterion is the parts throughput, i.e. the number of parts inspected and sorted per minute, hour, or per shift. The throughput is limited by several factors, including manufacturing output, part-handling capabilities, part inspection speeds, all of which in turn depends on the inspection requirements. A high throughput requires continuous part throughput, a comparatively low throughput with clocked throughput:


  • 100% - Testing with continuous throughput
  • 100% - Testing with clocked throughput
  • Customized systems for 100% testing

Examples for customized testing and sorting systems

Clocked inspection of small parts

Timed Sorting Machine

For comprehensive control, especially tests along the entire circumference, a rotation around the vertical axis is required. Based on the use of a rotary indexing table, or stepwise linear feed, clocked testing and sorting machines are high capable in this regard. The test parts are transferred to suitable centering devices such as mandrels, or clamping devices, and then rotated though 360° during the optical inspection. Cycled testing and sorting machines have one or more measuring stations and allow part sorting according to various criteria:
  • Test criteria: geometry (dimensional accuracy), surface quality, sorting purity, etc.
  • Performance: > 60 parts per minute (depending on parts and tasks)
  • Test technology: CVS image processing with up to 8 high-resolution cameras
  • Handling: storage hopper, feeding and packaging systems
