Machine vision systems from Festo make a decisive contribution to ensuring that the input and output are right. They monitor and stabilise processes, whether they’re reading codes or detecting positions for handling tasks. In some cases they even control the process itself. And they inspect quality from when the goods come in to when they are finished.

That makes your work easier. It makes your machines and systems more productive and flexible. And it further optimises the use of materials.

For the first time in automation technology, the workpiece to be inspected does not move towards the quality vision system, but vice-versa. Thanks to an integrated controller with CODESYS embedded on a Festo machine vision system linked to an axis gantry, the pictures are now starting to move.

The CHB-C-N is an intelligent system with adaptive workpiece flow control and optical workpiece identification. It sorts small parts according to type, orientation, quality as well as quantity. It is particularly suitable for trouble-free feeding of small parts to automatic assembly and production machines, especially in cases with high part rates and a large number of workpiece types.
