In modern manufacturing, achieving precise and high-speed visual inspections is crucial to ensure product quality. OptiX, a Software-Defined Optical Imaging System by UnitX, is designed to meet the evolving needs of industries by delivering unparalleled accuracy and speed in inline inspection. OptiX dynamically illuminates and images parts in real-time, capturing high-contrast images of variable parts, materials, and defects.

Key Features & Selling Points:

1. Versatile Lighting Dome
OptiX's innovative lighting dome features 32 independently controllable light sources, offering a 75-degree incident angle range. With the ability to generate 50 lighting patterns per second, OptiX enables manufacturers to adapt to complex materials, surfaces, and production requirements, ensuring optimal defect detection even in the most challenging environments.

2. High-Speed Imaging
OptiX is engineered to handle high-speed production environments with ease. Its fly capture speed reaches 1.0 meter/second, allowing for real-time image acquisition while inspecting up to 1,800 parts per minute. Furthermore, OptiX’s lighting system is 100x brighter than conventional lighting, ensuring high-contrast images that enhance defect visibility and accuracy.

3. Rapid Deployment & Adaptability
With OptiX, manufacturers can adjust and optimize their lighting parameters quickly. Through an intuitive, user-controlled software interface, operators can configure lighting settings in just minutes, ensuring a seamless transition to new parts or environments. This capability dramatically reduces downtime and accelerates production ramp-up.

4. 2.5D Imaging Technology
One of OptiX’s standout features is its 2.5D imaging technology, which enables high-speed defect detection with depth information. Using a single CMOS area scan camera, OptiX captures depth defects with 3um z-repeatability at a 500mm FOV. It performs six 3D reconstructions per second at 5MP resolution, ensuring precise and fast depth-dependent defect detection.
