TELEDYNE DALSA
High-tech Cheese Protection:
Heat-sealed joint inspection with hyperspectral imaging

Image

Bergader Privatkäserei, established in 1902, relies on state-of-the-art technology as well as traditional craftsmanship in the manufacture of its cheese specialities. A hyperspectral imaging system is being used for the first time for the packaging of the blue cheese ‘Bergader Edelpilz’.

Markus Leibold, account manager of Bergader and regional sales manager for Minebea Intec, a leading manufacturer of weighing and inspection solutions, and supplier of the new system for the inspection of heat-sealed joints says, “As far as I know there is no other food production plant in the world that uses a hyperspectral imaging system to inspect the heat-sealed joint on the packaging, thus providing 100% certainty that every single cheese package meets the requirements for air-tightness.” Markus Leibold and the development team from Minebea Intec from Aachen were present right from the start when Bergader began to consider a fully automated solution for the inspection of heat-sealed joints at its headquarters in Waging am See, Bavaria.

AIT – xposure flash – 600kHz LED Line Light

Image AIT’s fast LED strobing technology xposure:flash is the perfect complement to xposure:camera, AIT’s 600 kHz ultra-fast line scan camera. The use of ultra-fast strobing can transform a single camera into a multispectral, multichannel and photometry acquisition system.
There is a trend in industrial inspection systems towards the simultaneous acquisition of more information. Even faster cameras with an increasing number of pixels are only one part of the solution. Adding high speed illumination can make more of these powerful cameras. xposure:flash was specifically designed for industrial inline inspection. Read more ›

ZEISS
Ventum 2.8/21: High Precision from a Bird’s Eye View

Image With the release of the ZEISS Ventum 2.8/21, ZEISS presents a particularly lightweight wide-angle lens that enables long-range shots that are rich in detail. The focus is on the use of drones.

“To enable more efficient workflows for industrial customers, the ZEISS Ventum 2.8/21 had to be compact and lightweight without compromising on quality,” says Michael Pollmann, product manager at ZEISS. “Thanks to its special design with a fixed focus, the ZEISS Ventum 2.8/21 weighs just half that of the comparable ZEISS Interlock Compact 2.8/21.”

Thanks to its low weight, the drone consumes less energy and can remain airborne for longer.
