Inspection Functions

AX30/AX40 Imagecheckers can be used for a wide range of visual inspection applications such as 2D measurement, presence/absence checking, object position detection, object identification, sorting, counting, print inspection, colour discrimination and much more. Here are the inspection tools available in detail:
