The choice among integrators

Sherlock is an advanced machine vision software interface that can be applied to a wide variety of automated inspection applications. It offers maximum design flexibility and provides a rich suite of proven tools and capabilities that have been deployed in thousands of installations worldwide. With a keen eye for detail, our inspector will help you:

• Improve customer satisfaction by detecting defects early in the manufacturing cycle
• Increase productivity through automated 24/7 operation
• Reduce production costs by improving yield and redeploying skilled inspectors to other priority tasks

 

New Shape Extraction Feature

Combines multi-directional lighting with advanced software algorithms to eliminate surface background effects, such as noise or color, and produce an output image focused on the features most relevant to the inspection. This output image can then be inspected using standard Sherlock vision tools.
