IDS application report: From good wood
Fully automatic wooden parts inspection
You always need and see them everywhere: in metalworking, on the construction site, in almost every toolbox... the good old hand brush. Whether classic all-purpose brushes or brushes for special use, the German-based company Lessmann GmbH has virtually all of them in its range. The shape is varied, from straight to ergonomic.
But they all have one thing in common: the wooden handles are made exclusively of untreated red beech. Depending on the model, they also have two hanging holes at the end of the handle.
Production is fully automatic and highly efficient. In order to ensure its own claim to the excellent quality of the hand brush handles, Lessmann has been relying on classic image processing for many years.
But now "The German Brush Company" has implemented an image processing system from the Bavarian system house Simon IBV GmbH, which, with the help of robust IDS industrial cameras and the image processing software SIMAVIS® H, detects even barely perceptible tolerance deviations very reliably.
