Stemmer Imaging to show Hyperspectral Imaging at PPMA Total
Stemmer Imaging will be on stand A44 at the PPMA Total Show, which takes place at the NEC from 27-29 September 2016, and the company will be showing its new hyperspectral imaging capabilities. This innovative technique can reveal chemical composition information and has applications in the pharmaceutical, medical and food processing industries. Also on show will be the Boa Pro smart camera from Teledyne DALSA embedded with advanced Sherlock vision software and a multi-camera packaging inspection system.
Hyperspectral imaging opens up innovative new inspection possibilities for machine vision users. The near-infrared absorption behaviour of organic objects can provide information on their chemical structure. Based on an intuitive, configurable data processing software platform from Perception Park that makes the scientific methods of hyperspectral analysis readily accessible to everyone, Stemmer Imaging's hyperspectral systems enable the identification and separation of ingredients and substances based on chemical information, which is not possible using conventional colour or monochrome imaging.
The Boa Pro smart camera is available with a choice of resolutions and is embedded with the advanced Sherlock vision software. This application is particularly popular with vision integrators and is well suited to challenging or changing production line requirements. Sherlock offers the design flexibility and inspection capabilities to satisfy a diverse range of applications across all industries.
A multi-camera packaging inspection system will be used to determine print quality, read alphanumeric and barcode data and check fill-level as boxes pass underneath. This demonstration will show how cameras with different interfaces (USB3 Vision and GigE Vision) and varying resolutions can be combined to meet different inspection needs.
