Vision systems designed for your production

Complete machine or integration on your line: we start from your part, your line speed and your tolerance, then choose the technique that meets them.

Turnkey machines

A complete inspection machine, designed around your part

Opales designs and builds inspection machines based entirely on cameras: conveying, part presentation, lighting, vision, sorting and interface.

  • Mechanics and electrics in-house: 3D design, manufacturing, wiring and machine safety.
  • Lighting developed for your part: a successful vision project starts with light.
  • Sorting and rejection by defect type, with images of every reject archived.
  • Recipes and operator interface: more than 200 recipes on the coffee capsule inspection machine.

Example: 20 capsules per second

Integration on your line

Vision added to your machine, without rebuilding everything

We add inspection where it brings the most value: at the press outlet, after assembly, before packing.

  • Cameras, optics and lighting chosen and validated in the laboratory on your parts.
  • Brackets and covers designed for your available space.
  • Communication with your PLCs from Siemens, Allen-Bradley and Schneider, and with your robots.
  • Traceability: results, statistics and images archived, MES link.

Technologies

Seeing beyond the visible

Our applications use the visible spectrum, but also thermal infrared, ultraviolet and X-rays, with area-scan, line-scan or 3D cameras.

Ultravioletfluorescence, invisible markings
Visiblecolour and greyscale
Infraredthermal, hot products
X-raysinside the products

Area-scan cameras

From smart cameras to very high-resolution sensors, colour or greyscale.

Line-scan cameras

For moving products: sheet, film, strip, tubes, at high speed.

3D, laser and stereo

Multi-line laser projection, stereo vision and time of flight to measure shapes, volumes and flatness.

Thermal infrared

Non-contact measurement on hot products and monitoring of thermal processes.

Software

The right software for each project

VisiOpal

Our vision software, developed for more than 30 years for complex applications: in-house tools with no licence, AI, OCR, programming without code.

Cognex suite

Official Cognex integration partner since 2006: VisionPro, PatMax, In-Sight Explorer, Edge Learning and ViDi when the project calls for them.

Artificial intelligence

Supervised and unsupervised deep learning, AI OCR: for surface defects that no rule describes well.

An inspection to set up, an installation to take over?

Send us your parts, good and defective: we run them through our laboratory and show you what vision can guarantee on your line.
