Optimised 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-Colour lighting

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