The Kitov Core+ is a new robotic-based automated visual inspection system that combines traditional machine vision with artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning. Available in the UK from Optimax, Kitov Core+ provides comprehensive inspection tasks that include assembly verification, corrosion detection, dents and damage, surface imperfections, and micro-cracks – offering machine builders, system integrators, and planners automated CAD-based visual inspection planning.

As an open platform, user of the system can integrate the software with their new and existing production processes, including best-in-breed detectors and hardware components. 3D metrology is also supported.

Parts up to 800 mm in diameter, 500 mm in height and 40 kg in weight can be inspected, ensuring the Core+ is suitable for use in all industries, including general manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, electronics, defence and medical. In safety critical applications, the system is adept at removing human subjectivity errors.

Kitov Core+ can find defects down to 50 µm (with a 50 mm lens). It features algorithms designed for specific, common inspection tasks such as comprehensive screw/fastener inspection or label verification.

The ability to program complex inspection routines directly from CAD files reduces set-up and programming times and, if a CAD file is not available, the system can automatically create a 3D digital twin from a 360° image scan.

Ultimately, Kitov Core+ provides a non-contact precision inspection solution that eliminates manual inspection. It is suitable for use as a stand-alone solution or integrated into production using Industry 4.0, ERP, MES and PLC technologies.
