New autonomous machine vision

Inspekto has launched the Inspekto S70 Gen.2 autonomous machine vision (AMV) system, a new and improved version of its established solution for industrial quality inspection. Powered by AMV-AI, S70 Gen.2 supports an even higher number of use cases and facilitates reliable quality inspection in challenging applications, such as highly reflective materials, moving parts and vibrating platforms.

Unlike traditional machine vision solutions, the S70 Gen.2 is an off-the-shelf edge device that users can install in as little as 45 minutes, without any expertise in machine vision or AI. The simple set-up procedure only requires an average of 20 to 30 OK (good) sample items and no NOK (defective) ones, meaning that no training, data labelling or annotation is required to create immediate proof of concept.

While retaining its user-friendly characteristics, the latest version of Inspekto’s flagship edge device offers new and improved attributes. The first is the possibility to deploy the system in an even higher number of use cases. As opposed to traditional machine-vision solutions, which are set to inspect only a specific use case, AMV systems are universal, which means they include both the required hardware and software, and can inspect a wide variety of parts. This feature now extends to the reliable inspection of highly reflective materials like metals and plastics.

The built-in 5000K LEDs of the S70 Gen.2, controlled by pulse-width modularisation and arranged in several distinct regions, allow the system to control the direction of illumination autonomously and take several images with varying light direction and intensity. S70 Gen.2 then fuses these images to create a single HDR image without any reflection.
