In modern production lines, the demand for precision in machine vision and Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) is continuously rising. However, many equipment integrators and mechanical engineers frequently face dilemmas such as insufficient installation space, restricted lighting angles, or image stitching failures due to the lack of Encoder signals when upgrading AOI equipment or introducing customized AOI solutions.

As a professional provider of AOI equipment components and machine vision system integration services, Taiwan OPTICKS Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “OPTICKS“) officially launches the “OPT SCAN 2400 — High-End Compact CIS Vision Inspection Solution,” offering new possibilities for extreme production line challenges.

Upgrade AOI Inspection! “OPT SCAN 2400” 2400DPI with Multiple Light Source Options

To achieve precise machine vision inspection, high-quality imaging and appropriate lighting are indispensable. The OPT SCAN 2400 is currently the only flexible CIS vision inspection solution in the industry at an extreme resolution of 2400DPI that allows users to choose between built-in coaxial lighting or an external light source, and between integrated or split-type designs. The up to 10µm high-precision resolution can capture minute defects and precise circuits. Paired with a high-end strobe system (also known as a high-end time-division strobe system), multiple independent images such as brightfield, darkfield, and backlight can be simultaneously acquired with a single linear scan. This not only significantly improves inspection efficiency but also provides the clearest raw material for backend AOI algorithms.

Breakthrough in Two Major Pain Points of Traditional CIS: How to Solve Image Misalignment without an Encoder and Tilted Installation Challenges?

In the practical field of vision inspection system integration, the biggest headache for engineers is often not resolution, but “compromises in the installation environment.” The OPT SCAN 2400 proposes revolutionary solutions to two major pain points of traditional line scan cameras:

Fearless of Misalignment! Precise Alignment Even Without an Encoder

When traditional CIS moves at variable speeds on a production line without Encoder signal assistance, uncorrectable and severe misalignment occurs between sensors. The OPT SCAN 2400 is equipped with innovative technology to ensure seamless image stitching even without an Encoder.

▲ Imaging comparison between traditional CIS cameras and the OPT SCAN 2400 during production line acceleration/deceleration without an Encoder

Thoroughly Solving Imaging Discrepancies Caused by Tilted Installation

With traditional CIS, simply changing the installation angle causes severe uneven brightness and imaging discrepancies between adjacent sensors. The OPT SCAN 2400 has the ability to break through blind spots, supports tilted installation, and solves the uneven brightness defects brought on by tilted CIS setups. This allows mechanical engineers to flexibly address the special lighting needs of various products and maintain perfectly clear image output.

▲ Excellent imaging performance of the OPT SCAN 2400 with an external light source during tilted installation

Flexible Light Source Configuration and Tilted Installation Applications

The greatest advantage of the OPT SCAN 2400 lies in the ability to choose built-in coaxial light or freely combine it with an external light source for tilted installation. When using “built-in coaxial light,” due to the limitations of optical reflection principles, the camera must be installed vertically to ensure the light correctly reflects back to the sensor. However, when the production line faces spatial interference or needs to avoid the blind spots of highly reflective materials, using an “external light source” allows for tilted installation. This design grants immense mechanical design flexibility to the production line.

Zero Hassle in Mechanical Design: Integrated and Split-Type Micro CIS Design Choices, Combined with Seamless Stitching, Create Flexible Production Line Inspection Solutions

For mechanical engineers, internal equipment space is extremely valuable. The OPT SCAN 2400 offers “integrated” or “split-type micro-design” options, significantly reducing the volume at the sensor end. This not only breaks through spatial limitations and lowers installation space requirements but also provides more flexibility in hardware configuration.

At the same time, it eliminates the trouble of lens edge distortion. CIS technology inherently possesses a 1:1 true imaging non-deforming characteristic, meaning images can be directly used for precision measurement without complex software calibration, lowering the development threshold and time costs of AOI machine modifications.

In-Depth Analysis: OPT SCAN 2400 Core Technology Principles

Traditional CIS, constrained by sensor design and working distance limitations, finds it almost impossible to obtain beautiful brightfield or specular reflection field images. In contrast, the OPT SCAN 2400 responds beautifully according to sample characteristics or environmental restrictions, whether under a built-in coaxial setup or a tilted installation. While inheriting the low spatial requirement advantages of traditional CIS, it develops more possibilities for optical architectures!

Connecting with AI AOI: Providing Ultimately Clear Raw Images for High-End Defect Inspection

With the popularization of smart manufacturing, replacing manual visual inspection and realizing automated visual inspection is the future trend, and the accuracy of AI optical inspection heavily relies on the quality of the input images (Garbage in, garbage out).

The OPT SCAN 2400 can be seen as a tailored weapon for AI AOI integration and AI defect inspection upgrades. Thanks to its 10µm high-precision resolution and 1:1 true imaging distortion-free characteristics, it provides the most authentic, edge-clear training data for AI models. Combined with flexible lighting solutions, it effectively highlights “low-contrast defects” that are difficult to define with traditional vision, boosting the inference accuracy of AI models and becoming the best cornerstone for enterprises moving toward advanced Industry 4.0.
