I suspect that most solutions are likely to be far too capable (and expensive) for this simple task. But it is probably cheap to add this to an existing visual inspection process. If I was in your position I think that I would just get on the phone to the usual suspects (Omron, Keyence, Micro-epsilon, Sick) and see what they suggest. Also try looking at web images. (for example the Automation-Direct link posted here suggests that Wenglor are in this market. There is even a handy URL on the side of the unit) If it's a one-off then you could easily spend $1000 in development time to save $500 in parts. If this is a series production scenario then the economics change. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
