Control the shape of four profiles at once.


A visual inspection system based on LED illumination illumination, in art
illumination, in art, decoration of manuscripts and books with colored, gilded pictures, often referred to as miniatures (see miniature painting); historiated and decorated initials; and ornamental border designs.
 and eight to 10 electronic cameras is believed to be the first system for visual monitoring of four profiles at once. The system was created by Pixargus GmbH GmbH Gesellschaft mit Beschränkter Haftung (German: limited liability company; business entity)  in Germany, which has a new office in St.-Elie d'Orford, Que. It illuminates the profiles with a circle of LEDs, giving wider illumination than lasers and projecting a fixed, continuous shadow line on the profiles. This line is said to be as fine as a laser beam but is continuous and needs no adjustment around one or more profiles, whereas multi-laser configurations need readjustment re·ad·just

. LEDs are also more reliable than lasers on a shop floor, Pixargus says.

From the projected light/shadow line, software creates a graphic of the profile cross section and checks it against a template (1) A pre-designed document or data file formatted for common purposes such as a fax, invoice or business letter. If the document contains an automated process, such as a word processing macro or spreadsheet formula, then the programming is already written and embedded in the , activating alarms for off-spec conditions.
