Automated Vision Inspection

ConveyorVIEW Conveyor Vision Inspection System

Inspect large parts in motion, top, bottom and in 3D.

ConveyorVIEW is a modular, noncontact machine vision system for inspecting large parts and products as they move on a conveyor. Synchronized 2D and 3D stations check the top surface, the underside and the shape of each part, so surface, edge, warp and dimensional defects are caught in real time without handling the part.

Designed, Built and Supported in the United States since 1997

Inline Conveyor Inspection

Automated Inspection for Large Parts on a Conveyor

What is a conveyor vision inspection system?

A conveyor vision inspection system images parts as they travel on a conveyor and decides pass or fail without stopping or handling them. Cameras and 3D sensors at fixed stations check surfaces, edges and shape, and rejects are diverted automatically.

ConveyorVIEW is delivered turnkey or custom and fits into existing conveyors, material handling and factory networks. It is one of the benchtop and inline vision inspection machines from Sciotex, designed, programmed and built in-house in the US.

At a glance

Throughput: Around 60 parts per minute in typical setups
Resolution: Defects of about 100–200 microns, depending on optics
Stations: Top surface, 3D geometry and bottom surface
Control: PLC accept/reject, diverters and line interlocks

What It Inspects

Parts ConveyorVIEW Inspects

ConveyorVIEW handles a wide range of large parts and products on a conveyor line. In the example shown it was set up for plates and bowls, and it adapts to other parts by changing fixturing, lighting, optics and software recipes.

Molded, cast or stamped housings, covers, brackets and enclosures
Large consumer products and appliance components
Automotive and aerospace components with strict surface and edge requirements
Ceramics, glass and composites that need warp and flatness checks
Large extrusions, panels and plates

Top view. 1 Top surface cameras. 2 3D laser station maps warp and shape against a golden master. 3 Bottom surface camera checks the underside. 4 A PLC-driven diverter removes rejects.

How It Works

How Does ConveyorVIEW Work?

Instead of turning or lifting each part, ConveyorVIEW uses several synchronized stations. Sciotex can add or remove stations, cameras or lasers to match the inspection envelope and resolution you need.

1. Track

An encoder and sensors follow each part as it enters the inspection zone.

2. Image in 2D and 3D

Stations capture the top surface, a stitched 3D map and the underside.

3. Decide and divert

AI/ML software compares each part to a golden master and signals the reject mechanism.

Capabilities and Options

Defects, Measurements and Line Integration

ConveyorVIEW is configured to detect the defects and measure the features that matter for your part, and to connect to the equipment around it.

Surface defects	Bumps, blisters, inclusions, gouges, chips, pits, scratches and stains
Edge conditions	Sharp edges, cracks, chips and incomplete or malformed features
Shape defects	Warps, bows, dents, deformation and out-of-flat conditions
Dimensional deviations	Height, curvature, contour and thickness profiles compared with a golden master
Cosmetic issues	Glaze or coating anomalies, speckle and foreign material
3D sampling	Cross-sections every few millimeters along the part travel
Line control	PLC and fieldbus accept/reject, digital I/O, encoder inputs, air knives or pushers
Recipes	Saved settings for each part type, size and SKU
Data	Results, defect images and measurements logged, with optional MES, ERP or QMS links

Is ConveyorVIEW right for you?

Inline conveyor inspection is often the right fit when:

Parts are large and already move on a conveyor
Every part must be inspected at line speed
Defects can appear on the top, the bottom or in the shape of the part
Accept/reject decisions need to drive a diverter or line control

Why Inline Inspection

Benefits of Automated Conveyor Inspection

Manual inspection at line speed misses defects and slows the line. ConveyorVIEW inspects every part as it passes. See how the two compare in machine vision vs. manual inspection.

Every Part, Every Shift

Inline inspection of every part at production rates instead of sampling.

No Handling

Noncontact optical inspection, so parts are never lifted or turned.

Finds Subtle Defects

Pixel-level AI/ML analysis catches defects on complex surfaces where simple thresholds fail.

Traceable Data

Results, defect images and measurements are logged for traceability and SPC.

Benchtop horizontal 3D inspection system

Starting smaller: inspection methods can be proven on a benchtop 3D scanner before moving to a full inline system.

Custom Systems

Turnkey or Custom Line Integration

Sciotex provides the mechanical design, electrical integration, software, HMI and commissioning as one complete system, not a collection of components.
