Inspect-360° HR

Inspect-360° HR enables the inspection of small components without the need for further handling – and largely independent of type. In this sorting facility, the parts to be inspected are transported individually into a hollow sphere via a conveyor belt. There, they are inspected simultaneously from all directions in free fall with the aid of 16 cameras. In the process, they are diffusely illuminated and appear free of shadows and reflections even if the surface is bare or coated with oil. The parts pass through the measuring volume every second in any orientation – no specific handling is necessary.
