STATISTIC REPORTS

KaliX is a visual inspection machine for automatic measurement of component of every shape through machine vision, so that required information are obtained directly from acquired images.
Kalix is designed to measure rubber gaskets, plastic items, metal parts and other components within the limits of the field of view. Its usage is recommended throughout the production process, the acceptance of every working phase and for the final certification in laboratory for samples and production series.

KaliX is equipped with a 5 Mpixel progressive scan camera, with a field of view till Ø 160 mm. It has got bi-telecentric lenses very low distortion and a collimated light that remove the effects on borders of the backlight. 

The support is an aluminium undercarriage with four wheels, while the measuring parts are placed on a glass sliding surface.

Typical installations are delivered with:

  • PC with Windows operating system
  • 17” LCD touch screen
  • Printer
  • UPS group

The software allows to set and store the parameters for every single article so they can be used for the subsequent batches.

Version Dual Mag
Machine for dimensional control of circular pieces with double field of view, Ø 160 mm for top view and 27 mm at higher optical resolution for cut section of pieces or for small pieces.
