Automate faster and easier with job templates and flexible camera connections
EtherInspect shortens time to market by offering templates that simplify job setup and virtual and hybrid camera connections that enable fast system integration.
Templates
Pre-selected tool sets facilitate quick deployment and allow users to easily scale common applications, reducing development time.
2D Bead Inspect Template
Template for width and location
Part Array Template
Template for counting and inspecting a group of parts
Virtual cameras
Virtual camera technology enables multiple software connections to the same camera, allowing users to run concurrent inspections with a single device. A common use for this technology is in multi-point inspections, where a robot positions the camera around an assembly to be inspected and EtherInspect executes the inspection. With this setup, operators can monitor all inspections on one screen.
Hybrid cameras
Hybrid camera technology calibrates multiple cameras to produce one image. A common use for this technology is inspecting large parts where the field of view and resolution required exceeds the limits of a single camera. By using multiple cameras, a single high-resolution image is obtained. EtherInspect can locate features and take measurements across the stitched image.
Optimize efficiency with a single device
EtherInspect is camera-agnostic and supports a variety of third-party hardware and vision accessories to facilitate easy integration. With the ability to host up to 64 camera connections, the software allows one device to run multiple functions at the same time.
