Colors are created by the interaction of light and the reflective properties of a surface. The article explains how colored materials reflect and absorb light – and how modern sensors use this information to precisely detect colors. Ideal for use in quality control, robotics and color measurement.
AI-based image processing makes the automatic recognition of best-before dates efficient and reliable. The Smart Camera B60 with Deep OCR reads best-before dates without errors, even with glossy films, irregular surfaces and high production speeds – for maximum quality assurance and process control.
Precise image processing starts with the right optics: when is a C mount lens the best choice – and when is auto-focus worthwhile? Find out which camera optics are optimal for your industrial application and how wenglor Smart Cameras combine the highest image quality and flexibility.
The RGB color space is central to industrial sensors and image processing: red, green and blue enable precise color detection, digital quality control and reliable color communication in modern production processes.
The teach-free retro-reflex sensors from wenglor detect objects automatically – without manual teach-in. They reliably detect transparent, shiny and reflective materials and ensure maximum process stability in packaging, logistics and the beverage industry.
Precise and sharp image acquisition is the basis for stable
Inductive sensors with selective behavior from wenglor reliably distinguish ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic materials. Ideal for sorting, recycling and quality control in industrial automation.
Gloss sensors measure the degree of gloss of surfaces and distinguish between matt and glossy materials. Find out how wenglor sensors ensure precise quality control in painting, packaging and electronics.
In industrial image processing, the interaction of light, surface and shape is crucial. Find out how reflection and scattering influence image quality and contrast detection – for optimum lighting concepts.
