The world's only multi-smart camera vision system

The In-Sight® VC200 multi smart camera vision system brings the proven reliability of standalone In-Sight vision systems to multi camera vision applications. You can easily attach up to four In-Sight smart cameras to a controller for multi-view inspections in your manufacturing environment. 

 

For the first time, you can leverage the power of distributed computing with multiple smart cameras for high-performance applications. 

 

While traditional multi-camera systems slow down with each additional camera, the processing power of the In-Sight VC200 vision system actually increases with each smart camera added .   

The first low profile belt conveyor NSF Certified

 

QC Industries' HydroClean Conveyors recently received certification from NSF International, making them the first low profile belt conveyors with such a distinction. NSF is among the world's most respected independent certification organizations. 

They have verified that HydroClean Conveyors comply with NSF/ANSI 2 standards for sanitary equipment, such as minimal horizontal surfaces where water can collect, no exposed threads, and the use of hex head fasteners. All of these features are designed to eliminate opportunities for bacteria growth.

This conveyor exceeds sanitary standards by requiring no tools to disassemble for routine, in place cleaning .

Performance Calculator

 

While choosing to use a lead screw seems straight forward, choosing between ball and roller screws can be daunting. You can simplify the selection process by approaching the application systematically and applying an actuator performance calculator.

 

To choose the proper technology, consider quantifying metrics rather than relying upon product labeling and initial perception.   In this example, the objective is to maximize the life of a particular actuator. Given the high duty cycle of this application, this analysis will focus on electric cylinder screw options of similar pitch and packaging .
