Vision Systems

We use the IMLWatcher® quality assurance system from Intravis, as a complete package for the optical quality inspection of IML processes. We have been working exclusively with Intravis since 2016.

The IMLWatcher® is a software-based camera system exclusively designed to detect IML-specific defects. This quality assurance is turnkey and can be used immediately as an IML inspection system.

The integrated quick reference mode ensures automatic reference creation within a few seconds during ongoing measurement operation. This leads to significant time savings when setting up new products. In addition, the clearly structured user interface of the software facilitates the simple and intuitive operation of the IMLWatcher® and offers new, extended statistical functions. Thus, comprehensive production and error analysis is possible.
