Hello,
I have been shopping around for a while, seems like alot of them will only inspect a small area. What I want to do is inspect a loading hopper surface of a machine for stray product between different model runs for purpose of quality to prevent mixing. The area to be inspected is about 4'x4' and camera would need to be mounted about 4' away. I do not need to inspect any distance measurements, I just want to detect loose product compared to a stored image. Some of the product can be very small and hard to see also due to varying surface colors with 2D cameras, so I am thinking 3D surface scan is the way to go.
So the interface doesn't need to be anything fancy, one digital input and one output is all I would need.
Machine is controlled by AB ControlLogix if that matters at all.
Any of you that have had good success with a similar application I would really appreciate your feedback.
Thanks
