Optical measuring, inspection and sorting machines – for 100 percent testing and traceability

Compliance with today's requirements for products and their manufacturing processes calls for continuous improvements to quality and efficiency. Our automated optical measuring, inspection and sorting machines feature industrial image processing and help customers to achieve both goals – always with the focus on added value.

Automated optical inspection means efficient 100% testing and sorting of series parts, small parts and bulk goods by automated testing systems – either in the production line, or as standalone solutions, especially for very large quantities. It can guarantee part quality and prevent bad parts – but that's not all. Test results from camera-based industrial image processing also make it possible to identify potential for optimizing production – so users benefit from extra added value.

To investigate the testing tasks you set for us, we carry out a feasibility analysis in our image processing laboratory.

Benefits of optical inspection with automated testing systems from Kistler:

• In-depth advisory service with feasibility analyses of test assignments in our image processing laboratory
• 100% testing of series parts, small parts and bulk material
• Large production quantities and fast cycle times
• Enhanced process reliability and optimized process efficiency
• Comprehensive recording and transmission of quality data
• Reduced quality costs
• Increased plant efficiency and lower total cost of ownership (TCO)
• Rapid amortization (RoI)

In addition to its test automation portfolio, we also offer a special laser marking system for continuously produced series parts (marking on the fly). Its purpose: to meet requirements for product traceability. Specialized software, high-performance industrial computers and highly efficient controls allow direct access to the acquired quality data, together with statistical evaluation. Thanks to all these features, our automated test systems play a key part in implementing Industry 4.0.
