Markets and Technologies
The progressive, efficient automation
of processes is a key factor for
success in every market. Machine
vision is a crucial component of
automated production control and quality
assurance. ISRA machine vision solutions
meet the most demanding production
requirements and are individually
designed to fit each specific application.
Standard products are used to provide
customers with an unbeatable price/
performance ratio. ISRA's state-of-the-art,
user-friendly technology and expertise
is evident in more than 6,000 machine
vision systems currently in use by leading
manufacturers 24 hours a day, seven days
a week. With its machine vision systems,
ISRA covers the entire production process
as a key to higher productivity and better
quality.
Longstanding partnerships and
thousands successfully installed systems
- for example in more than 90 automotive
plants - that operate safely and reliably
around the clock emphasise the
experience and technological competence
of ISRA VISION. References like Audi,
BMW, DaimlerChrysler, Fiat, General
Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Renault, Seat,
Volvo or VW rely on ISRA to optimise
their process chain with vision systems.
Robot vision
Seeing in the third dimension. Robot guidance for difficult tasks such as
positioning, assembly, handling or paint finishing. ISRA's portfolio of
internationally unique solutions ranges from 2D to 6D. ISRA technology
imitates the interaction of the human eye and arm. 2D, 2½D, MONO3D, 3D
and 3D stereo robot vision systems for automated handling in fully automated
palletising, stacking, assembly and position recognition applications. New innovations
were added with the Geometry Gauging Sensor (GGS) and the Robot Guidance
Sensor (RGS): two all-in-one sensor families for high accuracy, 3D robot
guidance and gauging applications. All systems are distinguished by their robust
recognition, contour-based algorithms, position and scaling methods, their
flexibility and their ease of operation, as well as automatic calibration, model
teach-in and standard interfaces for leading robot manufacturers. The Robot
vision systems are mainly used in various production steps of the automotive
industry and as integrated systems in various items of equipment and machines
of general industries (OEM's and system integrators).
Quality check, gauging and inspection
Whether applied to assembly inspection of motors, transmission unit components
or for a completeness check of the entire engine compartment relating to
subsystems or components, ISRA systems offer outstanding speed and flexibility,
even for complex assembly units. ISRA systems make it possible to measure the
length, width, diameter, edge parallelism and similar geometric characteristics of
components right down to the micrometer range.
Standard systems are offered that are ideal for 100% quality inspection in the
fields of:
• assembly inspection
• glue and adhesive application inspection
• code inspection
• completeness inspection
Versatile Intelligence for Vision Automation - VIVA
VIVA is the intelligent link between Quality and Robot Vision tasks. This
universal software workbench makes it possible to combine gauging, inspection,
identification and 2D to 3D Robot Vision. The tool is based on more than a decade of
experience in automation. Due to its stateof-the-art design even complex tasks can
be fulfilled in a flexible, fast and economic way.
Applications automotive industry
The automotive industry uses ISRA technology to completely automate its
production and thus to reduce costs and make production more flexible.
The systems are used in all steps of the production process. Loading and
unloading of presses, gauging technology and adhesive inspection in the body shop,
windshield and cockpit assembly, detection of car body positions and paint inspection
in the paint shop or wheel assembly are just a few examples of our product range.
ISRA systems are in use at all applications in the automotive industry's process chain
such as:
• Press Shop
• BIW
• Paint
• Final Assembly
• Powertrain
