FESTO Checkbox Compact CHB-C
Checkbox Compact CHB-C
The Checkbox CHB-C consists of a housing which comprises all the necessary components. In addition to the user interface (keys, LEDs, displays), the connectors for the electrical connection of actuators, buffer zone sensors, diagnostics PC, voltage supply, encoder and master PLC, there is the entire imaging sensor system (optics, lighting and camera). The optical channel underneath the Checkbox CHB-C is open towards the rear side, thus it can be easily integrated in the material flow.
Optimum inspection of parts
Economical, variable, reliable
Components are scanned as they pass through the “optical channel”. Compared with recognition bymeans of an area scan camera, this image detection concept has major advantages: A mixture of any number of parts as well as objects of considerable length (up to 1 000 mm) can be recognized and processed without the need to observe minimum distances. In order to obtain a reliable and reproducible inspection result, the speed of the parts to be checked must be constant and their position stable. A fluctuating object speed can be compensated by means of connecting an encoder
