Optics + Lighting

Development & Production Optics + Lighting

From devices that “can see” to those that "see.”
Giving equipment “intent” with “Optics + Lighting”

For machine vision (image inspection), 70% of whether or not a system produces results as expected is reliant upon it seeing the work correctly. Cameras sometimes find faults on work that the human eye cannot see. The important thing when using machine vision that utilizes such mechanical eyes is to correctly understand the characteristics of the objects to be inspected and the inspection conditions, and clarify what the optimal image is, then select optimal equipment and investigation methods.

Cameras, which act as the “eyes” for machine vision, of course need the standard lighting to illuminate the subject of the image, and image software to process that image data obtained; if one component of the system is lacking, optimal image inspection is impossible. With our vast knowledge and experience with these technologies, ANY selects optimal cameras in our flexible proposals, which are not bound to any one particular manufacturer. Furthermore, we are partnered with research institutions of experts in the field of lighting, another component of these systems. We implement image inspection devices that can "see” and focus on your company’s requests and on solving problems.

We greatly improve imaging quality with unique technical know-how.
This contributes to the standardization of inspection quality and the diversity of inspection items.

Examples of image inspection improvement:
Lighting/imaging optimized for image subjects

Workpiece

Industrial Bearings
The light reflected off of the work surface makes it difficult to make out the characters engraved on it.
We optimized the wavelength and position of the light source, to obtain clear images for of the inspection subject.
